Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a GST-Pyk2 fusion protein containing residues surrounding the carboxy-terminal of human Pyk2.
Background
Protein-tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2), also called CAKβ, RAFTK, and CADTK, is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase structurally related to focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (1-4). Pyk2 is predominantly expressed in cells derived from hematopoietic lineages and in the central nervous system. Pyk2 is one of the signaling mediators for the G protein-coupled receptors and MAP kinase signaling pathway. It plays an important role in cell spreading and migration (5-7).
