Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that surfactant protein A (SP-A) binds to annexin IV in a Ca2+-dependent manner [Sohma, Matsushima, Watanabe, Hattori, Kuroki and Akino (1995) Biochem. J. 312, 175-181]. Annexin IV is a member of the annexin family having four consensus repeats of about 70 amino acids and a unique N-terminal tail. In the present study, the functional site of both annexin IV and SP-A for the Ca2+-dependent...
