The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-FAK antibody (ABIN362476) specifically detects FAK in IF.
The antibody is reactive with Human, Mouse and Rat samples.
The antibody detects endogenous level of FAK only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 576/577.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pTyr 576, pTyr577 (S-T-Y (p) -Y (p) -K-A) derived from Human FAK. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Background
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. Plays a potential role in oncogenic transformations resulting in increased kinase activity.
