Abstract excerpt
Synexin (annexin VII) is a calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding and membrane fusion protein in the annexin gene family, which forms calcium channels and may play a role in exocytotic secretion. We report here the cloning and characterization of five novel isoforms of cDNAs encoding Xenopus synexin from brain, oocyte and stage 24 cDNA libraries. The most prevalent Xenopus synexin has 1976 bp of cDNA sequence,...
