Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein per lane) from indicated cell lines were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with Purified anti-Annexin A2 (clone W19153A) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405). Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-β-actin (Cat. No. 643807) was used as a loading control at a 1:50000 dilution. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Lane M: Molecular weight marker -
IHC staining with Purified anti-Annexin A2 (clone W19153A), on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human esophagus tissue. Following antigen retrieval using 1X Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 Antigen Retrieval Buffer (Cat. No. 422704), the tissue was incubated without (panel A) or with (panel B) Purified anti-Annexin A2 (clone W19153A), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). Images were captured with a 40X objective and merged (panels C and D). Scale bar: 50 µm -
HEK293 cells (low-expressing cell line, panels A and C) and HaCaT cells (high-expressing cell line, panels B and D) were fixed and permeabilized with 100% ice-cold methanol for 10 minutes and blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then stained with Purified anti-Annexin A2 (clone W19153A), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). The images were captured on a Revvity Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System with a 63X objective and merged (panels C and D).

K-562 cells (high-expressing cell line, filled histogram) and HL-60 cells (low-expressing cell line, open histogram) were fixed and permeabilized using True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401) and intracellularly stained with Purified anti-Annexin A2 (clone W19153A), or Purified Rat IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (dashed histogram, representative for both cell lines) (Cat. No. 400502) followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416).

Annexin A2 (ANXA2), a member of the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. Annexin A2 contains a conserved core domain with four annexin repeats that facilitate calcium-dependent binding to negatively charged phospholipids. This protein plays roles in diverse cellular processes, including membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal rearrangement, fibrinolysis, inflammation, and cellular signal transduction. Annexin A2 contributes to the regulation of membrane dynamics and endocytosis by binding to negatively charged phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner, facilitating vesicle aggregation, fusion, and cytoskeletal anchoring. It also supports actin filament organization, thereby influencing cellular shape, motility, and adhesion. Annexin A2 is involved in exocytosis and plays an essential role in the trafficking of proteins to and from the cell membrane. ANXA2 typically exists as a monomer or as a heterotetrameric complex with S100A10 (also known as p11), forming the Annexin A2/S100A10 heterotetramer (A2t). This complex is crucial for extracellular and membrane-associated functions. The A2t complex acts as a co-receptor for tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen on endothelial cell surfaces, promoting the localized generation of plasmin, a key enzyme involved in clot breakdown and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Dysregulation of Annexin A2 expression or localization has been associated with various diseases. In cancer, Annexin A2 is frequently overexpressed and promotes tumorigenesis by enhancing cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. It has been identified as a marker of poor prognosis in cancers such as breast, pancreatic, and lung cancer. Annexin A2 facilitates cancer cell migration through actin remodeling and matrix degradation, and its cell surface expression supports plasmin-mediated extracellular matrix breakdown, aiding invasion.
