Anti seize is pretty much a zinc compound suspended in a carrier lubricant to get it spread throughout a part. The zinc then acts mostly as a corrosion inhibitor and very mild lubricant due to zinc's soft lead-like nature. I will say I've used it on the screw shaft of my balancer puller to ease turning and help prevent galling and stripping threads, and it has really worked well on it. Granted the stuff makes one major mess if you get some on you and don't catch it right away...gets into everything in no time..
