p-paxillin Antibody (D-10): sc-271980

p-paxillin Antibody (D-10) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects paxillin in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-paxillin antibody (D-10) specifically recognizes the phosphorylated form of paxillin, a crucial cytoskeletal protein that plays a significant role in cellular adhesion and signaling. Paxillin is primarily located at focal adhesions, which are dynamic structures that connect the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton, facilitating communication between the cell and its environment. This localization is vital for various cellular processes, including migration, proliferation, and survival, as paxillin allows cells to respond to external signals and mechanical forces. Furthermore, paxillin′s interaction with focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is essential for the regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation, which is a key event in the signaling pathways activated by growth factors and oncogenes. Phosphorylation of paxillin not only enhances binding to FAK but also promotes the recruitment of other signaling molecules, thereby amplifying the cellular response to adhesion and stress. Paxillin monoclonal antibody (D-10) enables researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms of cell adhesion and migration, which are critical in understanding cancer metastasis and tissue repair.
