Rabbit polyclonal to FAK ( phospho S732 )Focal Adhesion Kinase is a 125 kDa non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that plays a key role in signalling by growth factors, extracellular matrix and stress signals. Indeed, Focal Adhesion Kinase plays a central role in cell spreading, differentiation, migration, cell death and acceleration of the G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle. Cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (Cdk5), a serine/threonine kinase and an important regulator in brain development, has been found to be essential for phosphorylation at serine 732. In the context of the Focal Adhesion Kinase-Related Non-Kinase (FRNK), the c-terminal non-kinase domain of Focal Adhesion Kinase that acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of Focal Adhesion Kinase signalling, other serine kinases appear to readily phosphorylate this same site. The functional significance of phosphorylation on serine 732 is yet to be determined. |
