Focal adhesion kinase (FAK/PTK2) serves as a central integrator of cell adhesion, migration, and survival signaling, making its phosphorylation status a critical readout in cancer biology, wound healing, and mechanotransduction research. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 397 represents the autophosphorylation site that initiates FAK activation, creating a high-affinity binding site for Src family kinases and triggering downstream signaling cascades that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility. Detecting this specific phosphorylation event allows researchers to assess FAK activation state rather than simply measuring total protein levels.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to the human Phospho-PTK2 (Y397) region, offers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant production. Because the antibody sequence is defined and expressed consistently, researchers can expect uniform performance across experiments and over time, eliminating the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
Western blot validation in HeLa whole cell lysates demonstrates clean detection of the expected 119 kDa band, confirming specificity for full-length phosphorylated FAK at the predicted molecular weight. The recommended working dilution range of 1:500 to 1:5000 provides flexibility for optimization across different sample preparations and detection systems. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, supporting quantitative approaches to measuring FAK phosphorylation levels.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer for stability at freezer temperatures, this phospho-specific antibody is particularly well-suited for cardiovascular research applications where FAK signaling influences vascular remodeling, cardiac hypertrophy, and endothelial cell responses to mechanical stress.

Review: Western blotting of focal adhesion-related signaling proteins.As representative kinases that might stimulate the focal adhesion signal to osteogenesis-related signal, the expression and phosphorylation of FAK, MEK, and ERK were examined. When FAK, MEK, and ERK phosphorylation levels were evaluated, it was found that GO groups—especially the GO-1.7 group—had greater levels than the control group.
