Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Actopaxin is a member of actin binding proteins that include beta-parvin/affixin and gamma-parvin. Actopaxin is known to associate with F-actin and paxillin LD motifs LD1 and LD4. This protein also directly binds to serine/threonine integrin-linked kinase (ILK). Studies have reported that actopaxin may be involved in integrin-dependent remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton during cell adhesion, motility and division._x000D_ Rabbit anti-actopaxin recognizes actopaxin (42 kDa). Staining of actopaxin in immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with actopaxin immunizing peptide (mouse, amino acids 35-53)._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of mouse actopaxin (amino acids 35-53). The sequence is identical in human actopaxin and has considerable homology (~70%) with β-parvin/affixin, but no homology with γ-parvin._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Actopaxin was detected in HEK 293 cell lysates at 42 kDa by western blot using rabbit anti-actopaxin antibody at a 1:1000 dilution. In these cells, actopaxin associated with an ILK complex._x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Immunofluorescence (1 paper)_x000D_ Rabbit anti-actopaxin can also be used for protein microaarays._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
