MyBioSource.com's PXN Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The PXN Antibody was generated using Paxillin, and Pxn as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
Description: This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. These isoforms exhibit different expression pattern, and have different biochemical, as well as physiological properties (PMID:9054445).
Function: Cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion).
Subunit Structure: Binds in vitro to vinculin as well as to the SH3 domain of SRC and, when tyrosine phosphorylated, to the SH2 domain of V-CRK. Isoform beta binds to PTK2/FAK1 but weakly to vinculin. Isoform gamma binds to vinculin but only weakly to PTK2/FAK1. Interacts with GIT1, NUDT16L1/SDOS and TGFB1I1. Component of cytoplasmic complexes, which also contain GIT1, ARHGEF6 and PAK1. Interacts with PTK2/FAK1 and PTK2B/PYK2. Binds ASAP2. Interacts with unphosphorylated ITGA4. Interacts with RNF5 and PDCD10. Interacts with NEK3 and this interaction is prolactin-dependent. Interacts with PTK6. Interacts with SORBS1, PARVA and PARVB. Interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with CEACAM1; the interaction is phosphotyrosyl-dependent (PubMed:11035932).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylated by MAPK1/ERK2 (By similarity). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues during integrin-mediated cell adhesion, embryonic development, fibroblast transformation and following stimulation of cells by mitogens. Phosphorylation at Ser-244 by CDK5 reduces its interaction with PTK2/FAK1 in matrix-cell focal adhesions (MCFA) during oligodendrocytes (OLs) differentiation. Phosphorylation at Tyr-31 and Tyr-118 by PTK6 promote the activation of RAC1 via CRK/CrKII, thereby promoting migration and invasion. Phosphorylation at Ser-250 by SLK is required for PXN redistribution and cell motility (PubMed:23128389).
Similarity: Belongs to the paxillin family
