Annexins are proteins that bind phospholipids and are involved in many cellular functions. While not directly causing disease, annexin dysregulation is linked to various pathologies like cancer and autoimmune disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Annexins are a conserved protein family binding charged phospholipids, often calcium-dependent.
  • They perform diverse intracellular and extracellular functions, with at least 12 human members.
  • Annexin mutations are not definitively disease-causing but are implicated in various pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent observations on annexin-related pathologies.
  • To describe the role of annexins in major human diseases.
  • To explore the concept of 'annexinopathies'.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of annexin function and disease association.
  • Analysis of case studies and pathological conditions involving annexins.

  • Synthesis of current research on annexin involvement in human morbidity.

    • Main Results:

    • Annexin 2 overexpression linked to acute promyelocytic leukemia.
    • Annexin 5 underexpression implicated in antiphospholipid syndrome.
    • Annexins are associated with diverse conditions including autoimmunity, infection, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

    Conclusions:

    • Annexin dysregulation, termed 'annexinopathies', contributes to significant human diseases.
    • Further research into annexin function is crucial for understanding and treating various pathologies.
    • Annexins represent important targets for future therapeutic strategies.
