Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95:455-459(1998). CC -!- FUNCTION: This protein is an anticoagulant protein that acts as an CC indirect inhibitor of the thromboplastin-specific complex, which CC is involved in the blood coagulation cascade. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. Binds ATRX and EIF5B (By similarity). CC -!- INTERACTION: CC P70489:Abp10 (xeno); NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-296601, EBI-78367; CC P70486:Atrx (xeno); NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-296601, EBI-78333; CC Q9Z330:Dnmt1 (xeno); NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-296601, EBI-78342; CC P70488:Eif5b (xeno); NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-296601, EBI-78359; CC -!- DOMAIN: A pair of annexin repeats may form one binding site for CC calcium and phospholipid. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the annexin family. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 4 annexin repeats. CC -!- CAUTION: This protein has been independently sequenced by at least CC seven groups under different names. CC -!- CAUTION: Ref.9 sequence was thought to originate from mouse.
