Annexin A4 and A6 induce membrane curvature and constriction during cell membrane repair
Nature Communications, 2017 Efficient cell membrane repair mechanisms are essential for maintaining membrane integrity and thus for cell life. Here we show that the Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding proteins annexin A4 and A6 are involved in plasma membrane repair and needed for rapid
