Annexin A6 (ANAX6) belongs to a family of calcium-dependent membrane and phospholipid binding proteins. Annexin A6 is a secreted protein and locates on the cell surface. Annexin A6 contains 8 annexin repeats separated by linking sequences of variable lengths. A pair of annexin repeats may form one binding site for calcium and phospholipid. ANXA6 is involved in the regulation of the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and may be associated with CD21. In addition, ANXA6 has been implicated in mediating the endosome aggregation and vesicle fusion in secreting epithelia during exocytosis.
Annexin A7 (ANXA7) is a member of the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins. Annexin A7 has a unique, highly hydrophobic N-terminal domain and a conserved C-terminal region. The C-terminal region is composed of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments. Annexin A7 is a calcium/phospholipid-binding protein with diverse properties including voltage-sensitive calcium channel activity and promotes membrane fusion and is also involved in exocytosis.
Annexin A8 (ANXA8) belongs to a family of calcium-dependent membrane and phospholipid binding proteins. Annexin A8 contains 4 annexin repeats separated by linking sequences of variable lengths. A pair of annexin repeats may form one binding site for calcium and phospholipid. ANXA8 is preferentially expressed in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells, which suggests its participation in hematopoietic cell differentiation. In addition, ANXA8 is an anticoagulant protein that acts as an indirect inhibitor of the thromboplastin-specific complex, which is involved in the blood coagulation cascade.
DPEP2 (MBD-2) belongs to the membrane-bound dipeptidase family. There are three members of this family as membrane-bound dipeptidase-1 (MBD-1),membrane-bound dipeptidase-2 (MBD-2) and membrane-bound dipeptidase-3 (MBD-3).MBD-2 is expressed at highest levels in lung, heart, and testis and at some what lower levels in spleen.MBD-2 is membrane-bound through a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol linkage and probably is a metalloprotease which hydrolyzes leukotriene D4 (LTD4) into leukotriene E4 (LTE4).It is generally recognized that rapid cleavage of LTD4 is important in inactivating the broncho-and vaso-constrictive effects of cysteinyl LTs in asthmatic and inflammatory processes.
