This gene encodes a membrane-localized protein that binds phospholipids. This protein inhibits phospholipase A2 and has anti-inflammatory activity. Loss of function or expression of this gene has been detected in multiple tumors. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014],domain:A pair of annexin repeats may form one binding site for calcium and phospholipid.,function:Calcium/phospholipid-binding protein which promotes membrane fusion and is involved in exocytosis. This protein regulates phospholipase A2 activity. It seems to bind from two to four calcium ions with high affinity.,PTM:Phosphorylated by protein kinase C, epidermal growth factor receptor/kinase and TRPM7. Phosphorylation results in loss of the inhibitory activity.,similarity:Belongs to the annexin family.,similarity:Contains 1 annexin repeat.,similarity:Contains 2 annexin repeats.,similarity:Contains 4 annexin repeats.,subcellular location:Found in the cilium, nucleus and basolateral cell membrane of ciliated cells in the tracheal endothelium (By similarity). Found in the cytoplasm of type II pneumocytes and alveolar macrophages.,subunit:Homodimer in placenta (20%), linked by transglutamylation. Interacts with DYSF.,
