Anxa2 - annexin A2

Enables bone sialoprotein binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation; protein localization to plasma membrane; and response to thyroid hormone. Located in several cellular components, including macropinosome; membrane raft; and ruffle. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; and renal cell carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteonecrosis. Orthologous to several human genes including ANXA2 (annexin A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
