Paxillin (PXN)
Description:
Paxillin is a multi-domain protein that localizes primarily in focal adhesion sites to the extracellular matrix (1). Paxillin is one of the key components of integrin signaling and tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin is required for integrin-mediated cytoskeletal reorganization (2). Paxillin is phosphorylated by another focal adhesion component, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), at tyrosine 118 (3,4). Phospho-Tyr118 may provide a docking site for recruitment of other signaling molecules to focal adhesions. It has been shown that the
SH2 domain of Crk binds to the phosphorylated Tyr118 of paxillin (5).

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blotting. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000

Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (30-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer
