What is Annexin?
Annexin, English name: Annexin V is a reagent for detecting apoptosis. In normal cells, phosphatidylserine is only distributed inside the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. In the early stage of cell apoptosis, membrane phosphatidylserine (PS ) From the inside of the lipid membrane to the outside.

- Annexin, English name: Annexin V is a reagent for detecting apoptosis. In normal cells, phosphatidylserine is only distributed inside the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. In the early stage of cell apoptosis, membrane phosphatidylserine (PS ) From the inside of the lipid membrane to the outside.
- Annexin V, as a phospholipid binding protein, has a high affinity for phosphatidylserine. It binds to the cell membrane of early apoptotic cells through exposed phosphatidylserine on the outside of the cell. Therefore Annexin V is a sensitive indicator for detecting early cell apoptosis.
