General description

Zyxin (ZYX ), a zinc-binding phosphoprotein of ∼61kDa is located at focal adhesions and along the actin cytoskeleton. It has three LIM domains. This structural protein is located on human chromosome 7q34.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 134-150 of human zyxin with N-terminal added cysteine conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence differs by one amino acid in mouse.

Application

Anti-Zyxin antibody has been used in fluorescence microscopy.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zyxin (ZYX ) participates in the modulation of actin assembly at focal adhesions and stress fibers. It also regulates cell adhesion and cell cycle. Overexpression of ZYX is associated with melanoma. Suppression of ZYX  prevents cell growth.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

During metastasis, cells can use proteolytic activity to form tube-like "microtracks" within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Using these microtracks, cells can migrate unimpeded through the stroma. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of microtrack migration, we developed an in vitro 3D

Hirano bodies are paracrystalline F-actin-rich aggregations associated with a variety of conditions including aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. The composition and structure of these inclusions have been described by immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure, respectively. However, studies of the physiological function and dynamics
