Gene Information

human ... ZYX(7791)

General description

ZYX (zyxin) is a proline-rich protein with a molecular mass of 61kDa. It is composed of three LIM domains followed by a zinc finger domain. It is widely expressed in human tissues specifically at the focal contacts in adherent erythroleukemia cells.

Immunogen

Zyxin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ZYX antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ZYX (zyxin) participates in actin remodeling in association with other proteins. It is localized at the cell-cell junctions and facilitates strong cell adhesion by interacting with α-actinin. It exerts response during external mechanical force and internal actin-myosin force. Depending on the activation of Rho-kinase and myosin II, ZYX accumulates at the force-bearing sites. It has been reported that the LIM domain drives the recruitment of zyxin during cell migration.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Cell-cell junction remodeling is associated with dramatic actin reorganizations. Several actin regulatory systems have been implicated in actin remodeling events as cell-cell contacts are assembled and disassembled, including zyxin/LPP-VASP complexes. These complexes facilitate strong cell-cell adhesion by maintaining actin-membrane connections.

Phosphoinositides play pivotal roles in the regulation of cancer cell phenotypes. Among them, phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P2 ) localizes to the invadopodia, and positively regulates tumor cell invasion. In this study, we examined the effect of PI(3,4)P2 on focal adhesion dynamics
