The authors characterized the region of human chromosome 4q26-q28 that contains the gene encoding annexin V (placental anticoagulant protein I), a member of a family of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. A total of 14.5 kb, containing 9 introns, could be directly amplified from genomic DNA; the remainder was characterized from genomic clones in phage [lambda] and a yeast artificial chromosome. The gene was mapped with restriction enzymes BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, SacI, StuI, and XbaI; the transcribed region spans 28 kb and contains 13 exons (44 to 530 bp in size) and 12 introns (0.23 to 8.8 kb in size). Several putative transcription factor binding sites are present in the 5[prime]-region, but the promoter has no recognizable TATA box. This study will facilitate further analysis of the functions of annexin V and its role in disease. 33 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
