- Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Zyxin (Ser142/143) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of zyxin protein only when phosphorylated at Ser142, Ser143 or both residues.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser142 of human zyxin protein. Antibodies are purified using protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from A-431 cells, untreated (-) or EGF-treated (30 min; +), using Phospho-Zyxin (Ser142/143) Antibody (upper) and Zyxin Antibody #3553 (lower).
Background
The zyxin family of proteins includes LIMD1, ajuba, trip6 and zyxin, each of which contains three LIM domains at the carboxy-terminus. Zyxin family members associate with the actin cytoskeleton and are components of both the cell-cell junction adhesive complex and the integrin-mediated adhesive complex. They shuttle in and out of the nucleus where they may function in transcriptional activation (1).Zyxin is involved in the regulation of mechanical force-induced actin polymerization at focal adhesions (2), and in regulation of adhesion and migration, possibly through recruitment of Ena/VASP proteins to focal adhesions (3). Zyxin interacts with and may regulate the function of the tumor suppressor myopodin, which inhibits tumor growth and metastasis (4).
