Annexin 1 (ANXA1) belongs to a well-conserved superfamily of structurally-related Ca2+ and phospholipid-binding proteins. We first described its induction and role as a mediator of glucocorticoid (GC) actions within the host defence and neuroendocrine systems. In addition we provided evidence that an extracellular pool of ANXA1 is responsible for many of the regulatory actions of the protein, particularly in the pituitary gland where ANXA1 exported from folliculoste...
