Description | Specificity: RUU-WAC2A reacts anti Human recombinant and enDogenous annexin A5. It shows no cross reactivity with Annexins I, II, III, IV, VI, VII and VIII in ELISA or in immunoprecipitation. It does not recognise Monkey and Rat Annexin V in ELISA. Annexin A5 (or annexin V) is a cellular protein of the annexin family. Annexin A5 has been proposed to play a role in the inhibition of blood coagulation by competing for phosphatidylserine binding sites with prothrombin, and also to inhibit the activity of phospholipase A1. Annexin A5 forms a shield around negatively-charged phospholipid molecules, which blocks the entry of phospholipids into coagulation (clotting) reactions. Antibodies directed anti annexin A5 are the cause of the antiphospholi |
