General notes
Focal Adhesion Kinase is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase discovered as a substrate for Src and as a key element of integrin signalling. Focal Adhesion Kinase plays a central role in cell spreading, differentiation, migration, cell death and acceleration of the G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle. The activity of the phosphorylation site pTyr407 is currently unknown.
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Purification notes
Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using (i) a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated Focal Adhesion Kinase enzyme and (ii) a generic tyrosine phosphorylated peptide to remove antibody that is reactive with phosphotyrosine, irrespective of the sequence. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a Focal Adhesion Kinase-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at tyrosine 407. -

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
modificationsPhosphorylated 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. - Information by UniProt

Western blot - Anti-FAK (phospho Y407) antibody (ab4814)Cell extracts prepared from chick embryo fibroblasts expressing FAK and plated on fibronectin were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 4-20% Tris-glycine gel. The proteins were then transferred to nitrocellulose. Membranes were incubated with 0.3
µ g/mL ab4814, following prior incubation in the absence (none) or presence of the peptide immunogen, the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the FAK phosphopeptide, or a generic phosphotyrosine peptide. After washing, membranes were incubated with goat F(ab’)2 anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase and bands were detected using the Tropix WesternStar detection method. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to this site blocks the antibody signal, therefore demonstrating the specificity of ab4814 for this phosphorylated residue.
