Paxillin (Ser-83), Phosphospecific Antibody |
WB |
The antibody detects a 68kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of phosphorylated paxillin on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of NGF treated rat PC12 cells, as well as calyculin A treated human A431 cells and mouse macrophages. This sequence is highly conserved in rat and human paxillin and is also found in all isoforms (a, b, g) of paxillin. |

Specifications |
Unconjugated |
Rabbit |
Phospho-Paxillin (Ser-83) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues around serine 83 of mouse paxillin. |

Polyclonal |
IgG |
Antigen Affinity purification |
PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol |
Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C. |

Paxillin, a focal adhesion protein, is involved in focal adhesion formation during cell adhesion and migration. Paxillin contains LD motifs, LIM domains, and SH3-/SH2-binding domains that participate in a variety of protein-protein interactions with kinases, GTPase-activating proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins. Phosphorylation of paxillin occurs at tyrosine, threonine, and serine sites. Serine and threonine phosphorylation of paxillin occur in response to growth-factor activation, PKC activators, and fibronectins. Phosphorylation of Ser-85, Ser-178, and Thr-538 may be important sites for regulating paxillin activity. Paxillin phosphorylation of Thr-538 occurs in response to TPA-activated PKCs in vitro, and this phosphorylation may contribute to dissolution of the actin cytoskeleton and redistribution of LFA-1 integrins in vivo. |
