Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is exposed on the external leaflet of the plasma membrane during apoptosis. The protein annexin A5 (anxA5) shows high affinity for PtdSer. When anxA5 binds to the PtdSer-expressing membranes during apoptosis, it crystallizes as an extended two-dimensional network and activates thereby a novel portal of cell entry that results the of the PtdSer-expressing membrane novel of cell entry is the of the of membrane the of of the of novel of cell the of on the of on the of anxA5 to to and to a two-dimensional the that and anxA5 that the of an of extended to the and a that anxA5 the of of the of the that anxA5 the novel portal of cell of a of anxA5 to the plasma membrane the of PtdSer.
