Annexin VI is secreted in human bile
Abstract
A calcium-binding protein of 68 kDa was isolated from human bile that precipitates upon addition of 5 mM CaCl2. This protein was recognized by an immunoaffinity purified anti-annexin VI antibody and it had a similar aminoacid composition as annexin VI. Phospholipase A2 activity was inhibited in vitro in a dose-dependent manner as reported for annexin VI. It is the first time that an annexin secretion is demonstrated in bile.
