FAK [pY576] Antibody | catalog# XBP-4114
Background
Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) is a 125 kDa non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that acts as a substrate for Src and is a key element of integrin signaling. FAK 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 phosphorylation by Src of tyrosines 576 and 577 in the activation loop results in maximal activity of FAK. However, the two sites appear to be differentially regulated by stimuli.
Description

Extracts of primary chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) mock transfected (1) or transfected with a vector containing FAK (2-6), plated on fibronectin and treated with 50 μM vanadate for 16 hours were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer for one hour at room temperature, then incubated with the FAK [pY576] antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 1% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 2), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (3), a generic phosphotyrosine-containing peptide (4), a phosphopeptide derived from the corresponding region of Pyk2 (5), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (6). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab')2 anti-rabbit IgG HRP-conjugate, and signals were detected using the Pierce SuperSignal™ method.
Specifications
Formulation
Rabbit polyclonal immunoglobulin in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.3 (+/- 0.1), 50% glycerol with 1.0 mg/mL BSA (IgG, protease free) as a carrier.Clonality/Clone
This is a polyclonal antibody.Specificity
Human FAK. Mouse, rat, chicken and frog (100% homologous) FAK have not been tested, but are expected to react.Source
FAK antibody was produced against a chemically synthesized phosphopeptide derived from the region of human FAK that contains tyrosine 576. The sequence is conserved in mouse, rat, chicken and frog.Purification
FAK antibody was purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated FAK protein. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a FAK-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at tyrosine 576.Host
FAK [pY576] antibody was raised in rabbit.Please use anti-rabbit secondary antibodies.
Application
For Western blotting applications, we recommend using the antibody at a 1:1000 starting dilution.Tested Application
WBBuffer
Rabbit polyclonal immunoglobulin in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.3 (+/- 0.1), 50% glycerol with 1.0 mg/mL BSA (IgG, protease free) as a carrier.Storage
Store at -20˚C. We recommend a brief centrifugation before opening to settle vial contents. Then, apportion into working aliquots and store at -20˚C. For shipment or short-term storage (up to one week), 2 - 8˚C is sufficient.Positive Control
