Annexin A3 (ANXA3), is a 36kD member of the Annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins that are preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The Annexins consist of a unique amino terminal domain followed by a homologous C-terminal core domain containing calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding sites. The C-terminal domain is comprised of four 60-70aa annexin repeats. Annexin A3 is upregulated in microglia following stroke and in parenchymal hepatocytes in regenerating liver. It can be up-or down-regulated in various carcinomas. Alternate splicing generates an additional isoform with a 30aa deletion near the N-terminus. Human Annexin A3 shares 89-85aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Annexin A3, respectively.
