ANXA2 is a multifunctional member of the annexin protein family, implicated in vesicular transport, antioxidant defense, and actin remodeling. Its role in oncogenesis is actively investigated, notably in glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and breast cancer. However, a growing body of literature explores ANXA2's involvement in neurodegenerative processes. The evidence suggests a potential contribution of ANXA2 to the pathogenesis of primary and secondary tauopathies, as well as Parkinson's disease. It is crucial to note that the majority of these findings are correlative and necessitate further experimental validation. This review therefore presents a comprehensive analysis of data pertaining to ANXA2's involvement in various cellular processes, the disruption of which contributes to neurological pathologies.
