Santa Cruz Biotech

Product Name:

FAK Antibody (C-20) - Now replaced with FAK Antibody (D-1)

Catalog Number:

sc-558 - Discontinued and replaced with sc-271126

This antibody was used to detect the FAK protein. FAK encodes a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase which is found concentrated in the focal adhesions that form between cells growing in the presence of extracellular matrix constituents. We used this antibody in our study "Low Focal Adhesion Signaling Promotes Ground State Pluripotency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells " which published in J Proteome Res. 2017 Oct 6;16(10):3585-3595. doi: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.7b00322. This antibody gave best results in Westen blot and Immunocytochemistry staining of FAK on the mouse embryonic stem cells.

Summary

The Good

Highly specific in WB and ICC analysis, low background.

The Bad

Not bad

The Bottom Line

This is a very good antibody to detect FAK protein in both of WB and ICC analysis with a minimal background staining.
