Gene Information

human ... PTK2(5747)

General description

Protein tyrosine kinase 2 (PTK2), also known as FAK (focal adhesion kinase), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 8q24-qter. The encoded protein is localized to cell adhesion sites and extracellular matrix.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human FAK around the phosphorylation site of Tyr397.

Immunogen Range: 364-413

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein tyrosine kinase 2 (PTK2) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase which is known to regulate cell migration, proliferation, cell survival and invasiveness. Increased expression of FAK (focal adhesion kinase) leads to metastatic breast tumors and lung cancer. Inhibition of FAK tyrosine kinase activity stops various cellular process necessary for tumor growth. Hence, FAK inhibitors are considered to be potential therapeutic methods for cancer treatment. FAK is one of the important components of integrin adhesion complexes (IACs)and it plays a vital role in maintaining IAC dynamics. Cell interactions with components of extracellular matrix and a number of agonists, such as neuropeptides, activate Ptk2. Ptk2, mediates cell signaling through its kinase dependent/independent functions. Upregulation of the gene is observed in hepatocellular carcinoma, which is accompanied with portal venous invasion and intrahepatic metastasis.
