Rabbit Anti-Leupaxin/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Leupaxin is a 386 amino acid cytoplasmic protein and member of the paxillin family. Leupaxin is highly expressed in lymphoid tissues such as spleen, lymph node, thymus and appendix, with low expression in bone marrow and fetal liver. Consisting of four leucine-rich LD-motifs at the N-terminus and four LIM domains at the SLCterminus, leupaxin associates with a member of the focal adhesion kinase family, PYK2, in lymphoid cells. The leupaxin and PYK2 complex is involved in cell type-specific signaling in which it regulates signaling at sites of adhesion. Leupaxin is a substrate for tyrosine kinase in lymphoid cells and is suggested to participate in and be regulated by tyrosine kinase activity. Leupaxin may be a potential progression marker for a subset of prostate cancer and may act as a novel coactivator of the androgen receptor.
Function:
Leupaxin is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells and is most homologous to the focal adhesion protein, paxillin. It may function in cell type specific signaling by associating with PYK2, a member of focal adhesion kinase family. As a substrate for a tyrosine kinase in lymphoid cells, this protein may also function in, and be regulated by tyrosine kinase activity.
