A polyclonal antibody specific for human Annexin A1 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. Annexin A1 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for Annexin A1, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay Specificity\u003cbr\u003e\nOur ELISA kits are rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility.

The annexin proteins are structurally characterized by a core domain containing a conserved 70 amino acid sequence repeated four or eight times. This core is preceded by a unique N-terminal domain that varies in sequence and length and is thought to be responsible for specifying different annexin functions. Annexin A1 has an apparent relative molecular mass of 40 kDa with 346 amino acids and is preferentially located on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. It mimics the effect of steroids, mediates anti-inflammatory activity and is a potent inhibitor of phospholipase A2 activity. Annexin A1 regulates neutrophil extravasation by interacting with the formyl peptide receptor and triggers different signaling pathways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnexin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnexin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnexin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnexin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843619737769,"sku":"ab222868","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab222868","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
