Target

  • Function
    Non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase implicated in signaling pathways involved in cell motility, proliferation and apoptosis. Activated by tyrosine-phosphorylation in response to either integrin clustering induced by cell adhesion or antibody cross-linking, or via G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) occupancy by ligands such as bombesin or lysophosphatidic acid, or via LDL receptor occupancy. Microtubule-induced dephosphorylation at Tyr-397 is crucial for the induction of focal adhesion disassembly. Plays a potential role in oncogenic transformations resulting in increased kinase activity.
  • Tissue specificity
    Expressed in all organs tested, in lymphoid cell lines, but most abundantly in brain.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. FAK subfamily.
    Contains 1 FERM domain.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Domain
    The first Pro-rich domain interacts with the SH3 domain of CRK-associated substrate (BCAR1) and CASL.
    The carboxy-terminal region is the site of focal adhesion targeting (FAT) sequence which mediates the localization of FAK1 to focal adhesions.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Phosphorylated on 6 tyrosine residues upon activation. Microtubule-induced dephosphorylation at Tyr-397 could be catalyzed by PTPN11 and regulated by ZFYVE21. Dephosphorylated by PTPN11 upon EPHA2 activation by its ligand EFNA1.
  • Cellular localization
    Cell junction > focal adhesion. Cell membrane. Constituent of focal adhesions.

    Answer

    Thank you for your telephone enquiry yesterday afternoon.

    As discussed on the telephone, I am sorry to confirm that as far as we are aware, ab24781 has never been tested in IHC-P. All tested applications covered by the 6 month guaranteeare specified on our datasheets, and these are updated as soon as any new information is brought to our attention.

    With regards to a positive control for this applciation, the following page from the SwisProt./Uniprot protein database site indicates that FAK (phospho Y397) is quite ubiquitous:
    http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q05397

    Our other antibody to FAK specific for the phospho Y397 residue has been used succesfully in brain tissue.

    I can recommend a literature search to obtain further details.

    As you are using this antibody in a new application, we like to encourage all of our customers to submit an Abreview via the online product datasheet. We always appreciate customer feedback, whether positive or negative, and we make all product information available to researchers. Plus, each Abreview earns Abpoints that can be used for discounts on future purchases or rewards such as Amazon.com gift certificates.
