Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Annexin A1 also known as ANXA1 or annexin 1 is a multifunctional protein with a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa. This protein belongs to the annexin family and is distributed widely in various tissue types including the central nervous system respiratory system and immune cells. Annexin A1 functions by binding to phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner influencing membrane-related processes and signal transduction. Its expression can be examined using techniques like annexin A1 immunohistochemistry and annexin A1 ELISA to study protein localization and concentration.
Biological function summary
Annexin A1 is involved in modulating inflammatory responses and cell proliferation. It acts as a mediator in the resolution of inflammation by promoting apoptotic cell clearance and regulating leukocyte migration. Annexin A1 participates in complex interactions often associating with cell membrane phospholipids to exert its effects. It contributes significantly to cell adhesion migration and intracellular signaling events which are important for maintaining homeostasis and proper immune function.
Pathways
Annexin A1 plays a significant role in the glucocorticoid signaling pathway and the formation of the cytoskeleton. It interacts with proteins like lipocortin 1 and phospholipase A2 impacting processes such as arachidonic acid metabolism and cytoskeletal reorganization. These interactions underline annexin A1's involvement in regulating inflammation and maintaining cellular architecture linking it to cellular processes that govern stress responses and cell movement.
Annexin A1 exhibits relevance to inflammatory diseases and cancer. It has been implicated in conditions such as asthma where it modulates inflammatory cell recruitment and activation. In cancer especially in breast cancer annexin A1 influences tumor progression by interacting with proteins like COX-2 affecting tumor cell invasion and metastasis. The protein's role in these conditions highlights its potential as both a biomarker and therapeutic target helping in understanding disease mechanisms and developing treatment strategies.
