Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit Summary

• Description: Simple One Step Assay to detect apoptosis within 10 min. Can also differentiate apoptosis vs necrosis. Detection: Flow Cytometry or Fluorescence Microscopy (Ex/Em = 400/505 nm). Detect early/middle stages of apoptosis; differentiate apoptosis from necrosis.
  
  This product is manufactured by Abcam and distributed by Novus Biologicals. (Abcam Catalog Number: K104-100)
• Kit Type: Apoptosis Detection Kit
• Gene: ANXA5

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Flow Cytometry
• Application Notes: The Annexin V-EGFP Apoptosis Detection Kit is based on the observation that soon after initiating apoptosis, most cell types translocate the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) from the inner face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface. Once on the cell surface, PS can be easily detected by staining with an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fusion of annexin V, a protein that has a strong natural affinity for PS. The one-step staining procedure takes only 10 minutes. The assay can be directly performed on live cells. Detection can be analyzed by flow cytometry or by fluorescence microscopy with a FITC filter. EGFP is brighter and more photo-stable than other fluorescent reagents. The kit can differentiate apoptosis vs necrosis when performing both annexin V-EGFP and PI staining.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

Background

Annexin V is encoded by this gene belongs to the annexin family of calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins some of which have been implicated in membrane-related events along exocytotic and endocytotic pathways. Annexin 5 is a phospholipase A2 and protein kinase C inhibitory protein with calcium channel activity and a potential role in cellular signal transduction, inflammation, growth and differentiation. Annexin 5 has also been described as placental anticoagulant protein I, vascular anticoagulant-alpha, endonexin II, lipocortin V, placental protein 4 and anchorin CII. The gene spans 29 kb containing 13 exons, and encodes a single transcript of approximately 1.6 kb and a protein product with a molecular weight of about 35 kDa.
