Annexin V is an endogenous human protein Ca+2 dependent, with a molecular weight of 35.8 kDa, widely distributed intracellularly, with very high concentrations in the placenta and lower concentrations in endothelial cells, kidneys, myocardium, skeletal muscle, skin, red cells, platelets and monocytes. Annexin V binds preferably to phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid commonly present on inner leaflet of lipid bilayer, which during cell apoptosis is translocated to outer leaflet of cell membrane. Despite of Annexin V is a relatively large protein, it was shown early on that the protein can be internalized at sites of ischemic injury both in the heart and in the brain and cross the intact blood-brain barrier, being increasingly used as a tool to detect apoptosis in several diseases such as Alzheimer and Ischemia and in drug. Therefore, production of recombinant human Annexin V using recombinant DNA technique along with High Cell Density Culture and protein purification becomes applicable to commercialize it in Brazil, increasing and facilitating the access of pharmaceutical industries and research laboratories in purchase product. We developed a protocol to produce recombinant human annexin V in large scale, in which approximately 20 mg of recombinant protein was yielded from 3 g of E. coliBL21(DE3) wet cells. N-terminal amino acid sequencing and massspectrometry analysis provided evidence for the identity and purity of therecombinant protein, as well as an apoptosis/necrosis in vitro detectionkit produced performed similarities with an imported commercialized kit in Brazil.
