This gene encodes a member of the annexin family. Members
of this calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein family play
a role in the regulation of cellular growth and in signal
transduction pathways. The specific function of this gene has not
yet been determined; however, it is associated with the plasma
membrane of undifferentiated, proliferating endothelial cells and
differentiated villus enterocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
