| Target/Specificity | Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a widely expressed cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase involved in signal transduction pathways important for cell spreading, migration and survival. Activation of FAK by integrin clustering leads to autophosphorylation at Tyr-397, which is a binding site for Src family kinases, PI3-Kinase, and PLCγ. The recruitment of Src family kinases results in the phosphorylation of tyrosine 407, 576, and 577 in the catalytic domain, and tyrosine 871 and 925 in the carboxy-terminal region of FAK. Thus, the phosphorylation of Tyr-397 is a critical step in the activation of FAK. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | Anti-FAK (Tyr-397), Phosphospecific Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Shipping | Blue Ice |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
