Paxillin (Phospho-Tyr118)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The Paxillin Phospho-Tyr118 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate detection of phosphorylated Paxillin at tyrosine 118 in cell lysates. This kit provides researchers with reliable and reproducible results, making it suitable for a variety of research applications.Paxillin is a key signaling protein involved in cell adhesion, migration, and cytoskeletal rearrangement. Phosphorylation of Paxillin at tyrosine 118 plays a crucial role in regulating these cellular processes, making it a valuable marker for studying cell signaling pathways and investigating cellular responses to various stimuli.

By accurately measuring phosphorylated Paxillin levels, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying cell migration, invasion, and proliferation. This kit is essential for studying diseases such as cancer, where dysregulation of Paxillin phosphorylation can contribute to tumor progression and metastasis.Overall, the Paxillin Phospho-Tyr118 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit provides a powerful tool for researchers seeking to unravel the intricate signaling networks that govern cell behavior and disease progression.

The Paxillin (Phospho-Tyr118) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Paxillin protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Paxillin in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Paxillin phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of Paxillin (Phospho-Tyr118) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Paxillin (Phospho-Tyr118) is captured by Paxillin (Phospho-Tyr118)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.
Database Information:Gene ID: 5829, UniProt ID: P49023, OMIM: 602505, Unigene: Hs.446336
Gene Symbol:PXN
Sub Type:Phospho
UniProt Protein Function:PXN: a multi-domain cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment that localizes primarily to focal adhesion sites to the extracellular matrix. Phosphorylated by focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and is a component of integrin signaling. Its phosphorylation provides docking sites for recruitment of signaling molecules to focal adhesions. Binds in vitro to vinculin as well as to the SH3 domain of c-SRC and, when tyrosine phosphorylated, to the Crk SH2 domain. Interacts with GIT1, NUDT16L1/SDOS, PARVA and TGFB1I1. Component of cytoplasmic complexes, which also contain GIT1, ARHGEF6 and PAK1. Binds DDEF2. Interacts with unphosphorylated ITGA4. Interacts with RNF5.Three alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform beta binds to focal adhesion kinase but weakly to vinculin. Isoform gamma binds to vinculin but only weakly to focal adhesion kinase.

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein involved in actin-membrane attachment at sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (focal adhesion). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. These isoforms exhibit different expression pattern, and have different biochemical, as well as physiological properties (PMID:9054445). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

StepProcedure
1.Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37 °C prior to adding cells.
2.Incubate the cells for overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4 °C for a week.
7.Add 100 µL of Quenching Buffer and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
