Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic protein that belongs to non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase family. It has a critical role in regulation of cell differentiation, migration, adhesion and acceleration of the G1 to S phase transition in cell cycle. Anti-phospho-FAK (pTyr861) antibody can be used in immunohistochemistry. Rabbit anti-phospho-FAK (pTyr861) antibody reacts specifically with FAK (125kD) phosphorylated at tyrosine 861. This product can also react with FAK (pTyr861) of mouse, chicken and human.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase. It is coded by the PTK2 (protein tyrosine kinase 2) gene that is located on human chromosome 8q24.3.
Immunogen
synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of FAK that contains tyrosine 861.
Application
Anti-phospho-FAK (pTyr861) antibody can be used in western blotting (diluted 1:1000).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) participates in cell signaling pathways that leads to cell proliferation, invasion, survival and metastasis. It is essential for normal embryonic development. This protein controls CSC (cancer stem cells) properties in breast, gastrointestinal and squamous cell carcinoma.
Physical form
Solution in Dulbecco′s phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.3, with 50% glycerol, 1.0 mg/ml BSA (IgG and protease free) and 0.05% sodium azide.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase involved in integrin-mediated control of cell behavior. Following cell adhesion to components of the extracellular matrix, FAK becomes phosphorylated at multiple sites, including tyrosines 397, 576, and 577. Tyr-397 is

Microglia migrate to the cerebral cortex during early embryonic stages. However, the precise mechanisms underlying microglia migration remain incompletely understood. As an extracellular matrix protein, Netrin-1 is involved in modulating the motility of diverse cells. In this paper, we found
