Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-Zyxin (Ser142/143) (D1E8) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of zyxin protein only when phosphorylated at Ser142 and Ser143.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser142 and Ser143 of human zyxin protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from A-431 and U-2 OS cells, untreated (-) or treated (+) with λ and calf intestinal phosphatase (λ/CIP), using Phospho-Zyxin (Ser142/143) (D1E8) Rabbit mAb (upper) or Zyxin Antibody #3553 (lower).

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of extracts from A-431 cells using Phospho-Zyxin (Ser142/143) (D1E8) Rabbit mAb. Western blot was performed using the same antibody. Lane 1 is 10% input.

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).
