Monoclonal Anti-Paxillin antibody produced in mouse

Monoclonal Anti-Paxillin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the PXC-10 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Paxillin (68 kDa), is a cytoskeletal component. It is found in the ends of actin stress fibers of the focal adhesions, but not in adherens junctions of the cells. The paxillin molecule has a single binding site for vinculin, and at least two binding sites for focal adhesion kinase (FAK), that are separated by an intervening sequence of 100 amino acids.

Monoclonal Anti-Paxillin antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry.

Paxillin interacts with several proteins including members of the src family of tyrosine kinases, the transforming protein v-crk, the cytoskeletal protein vinculin, and the tyrosine kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK). This interaction has suggested a function for paxillin as a molecular adaptor, responsible for the recruitment of structural and signaling molecules to focal adhesions.

Recognizes an epitope located in the LIM1 domain of the paxillin molecule.
