VPT-0087

QUESTION

The glucocorticoid-induced protein that targets phospholipase A2 is?

OPTIONS

(A) Calmodulin
(B) Mx protein
(C) Phospholamban
(D) Annexin 1

ANSWER

(D) Annexin 1

EXPLANATION

Annexin 1, also called lipocortin 1, is induced by glucocorticoids and inhibits phospholipase A2, thereby reducing arachidonic-acid release and eicosanoid formation. Calmodulin, Mx protein, and phospholamban do not mediate this glucocorticoid action.
