Polyclonal Antibody to FAK (phospho-Tyr576/Tyr577)

Non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase implicated in signaling pathways involved in cell motility, proliferation and apoptosis. Activated by tyrosine-phosphorylation in response to either integrin clustering induced by cell adhesion or antibody cross-linking, or via G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) occupancy by ligands such as bombesin or lysophosphatidic acid, or via LDL receptor occupancy. Plays a potential role in oncogenic transformations resulting in increased kinase activity. Parsons, J.T. et al. (2000) Oncogene 19, 5606-5613 Schaller, M.D. et al. (1994) Mol. Cell.
