Leupaxin gene is mapped to human chromosome 11q12.1. Leupaxin belongs to the paxillin protein family It is mainly expressed in macrophages, lymphoid tissues and hematopoietic cells. Leupaxin comprises two types of protein interaction domains, LIM domain and leucine−aspartate (LD) motifs. LIM domains mediate localization to focal contacts. LD motifs facilitates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and vinculin binding, resulting in the localization of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) to focal adhesions. The C-terminal LIM domains in leupaxin share 70% amino acid identity with paxillin. The N-terminal region of leupaxin comprises three short stretches of 13 amino acids that share 70− 90% similarity with paxillin LD motifs.
Spécificité
Anti-Leupaxin (N-terminal) specifically recognizes human leupaxin.
Application
Anti-Leupaxin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and proximity ligation assay.
Actions biochimiques/physiologiques
Leupaxin in association with a second focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family member, PYK2, acts a cell type-specific signaling complex regulator in leukocytes. It acts as a tyrosine kinase substrate in lymphoid cells and thus, may function in and be regulated by tyrosine kinase activity. Leupaxin facilitates adhesion and invasion of prostate carcinoma cells. It can form a complex with PYK2 and PTP-PEST in various cells such as monocytes and osteoclasts and in prostate cancer cells. In osteoclasts, leupaxin acts as a key nucleating component of the osteoclast podosomal signaling complex in the adhesion zone.
