Biological function summary
Annexin-2 acts beyond mere cellular structural support. It plays a part in fibrinolysis by acting as a co-receptor for plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator promoting plasmin generation. The protein is also implicated in membrane trafficking signal transduction and organization of microdomains on cellular surfaces. As part of a complex with S100A10 ANXA2 can bind to cytoskeletal elements facilitating vesicle trafficking and influencing cell shape and motility. This complex assembly hints at ANXA2's importance in maintaining cellular dynamism and interplay with external signals.
Pathways
ANXA2 is integral in the regulation of the plasminogen activation pathway important for fibrinolytic activity. It also participates in the signal transduction pathways influencing cellular responses to stress and growth factors. ANXA2 interacts with various proteins like Src kinase and is involved in processes like the EGFR signaling pathway. This protein often crosstalks with the cytoskeletal network enabling the coupling of membrane dynamics with intracellular signaling cascades.
