Anti fak antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States

Anti-FAK antibody is a research tool used to detect and study the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) protein. FAK is a tyrosine kinase that plays a crucial role in integrin-mediated signaling and cellular processes such as cell adhesion, migration, and survival. This antibody can be used in various experimental techniques, including western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation, to investigate the expression, localization, and interactions of the FAK protein.

The protein samples were harvested using a total protein lysates kit (cat no. KGP250; Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co. Ltd., Nanjing, China). The protein concentrations were determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A total of 25 µg protein from each sample was subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (gel, 10%; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Immobilon; EMD Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). Immunoprobing was performed by incubating the membrane with anti-GAPDH antibody (1:1,000; cat. no. 5174; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), anti-CTSB antibody (1:1,000; cat. no. ab230401, Abcam), anti-FAK antibody (1:1,000; cat. no. WL01696; Wanleibio Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) and anti-MMP-9 antibody (1:1,000; cat. no. 10375-2-AP; Proteintech Group, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) overnight at 4°C, followed by binding with a HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:2,000; cat. no. 7074; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 1 h at room temperature. The Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used for detection.

The RIPA protein lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to split the proteins in tissues or cells, and the protein concentration was measured using a bicinchoninic acid disodium kit (Beyotime). An equivalent amount of cell lysate was separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were subsequently sealed, and anti-TRIM59 antibody (1: 5000) was added. GAPDH (1: 10 000; Multisciences, Hangzhou, China) as an internal reference. The membranes were incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1: 5000; Bioworld Technology, lnc., St. Louis Park, MN, USA). The intensity of protein bands was analyzed with Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Other primary antibodies used in this study included anti-FAK antibody, anti-phospho-FAK, anti-AKT, anti-phospho-AKT, anti-MMP2 antibody, and anti-MMP9 antibody, which were all purchased from Abcam or Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas TX, USA).

The active RAC1 pull-down kit (Pierce Biotechnology Rockford, IL) was used to assay the active form of RAC1. Briefly, Glutathione S-transferase (GST) conjugated human pak1-PBD was added to the cell extracts to pull down the active form of RAC1. The active form of RAC1 (GTP-Rac1) was eluted, subjected to western blot analysis, and the expression of total RAC1 was used as control. Immunoreactive bands were visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence reaction with an ECL Prime Western Blot Detection System). The GTP-Rac1, FHL2 and actin western blots were cropped from different parts of the same gel, and the total Rac1 were from corresponding gels. Intensity of the chemiluminescent bands was quantitatively analyzed by Image J (NIH).
For coimmunoprecipitation experiments, podocytes were cultured in RPMI with or without angiotensin II. Endogenous FHL2 and FAK were coimmunoprecipitated by a commercial kit (Pierce Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Anti-FHL2 antibody was purchased from MBL Life Science (Nagoya, Japan). Anti-FAK antibody was purchased from Abcam (USA).

RCC cells were plated in laser confocal special culture dishs at 30% confluence and treated with indicated reagents at indicated concentration for 48 h. Then, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 15 min at room temperature, permeabilised with 0.4% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 min, and then blocked with 1% BSA in PBS for 1 h at 37 °C. The blocked cells were incubated with anti-FLAG antibody (1:100, Sigma) and anti-FAK antibody (1:100, abcam) overnight at 4 °C, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody
and Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:100, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 2 h. Nuclear staining of cells was conducted using 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Representative images were acquired using the Leica Microsystem.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
