PTK2B, also known as PYK2 or FAK2, is a calcium-dependent non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a central role in signal transduction pathways governing cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. As a key mediator linking integrin and growth factor receptor signaling to downstream effectors, PTK2B is particularly important in immune cell function, neuronal signaling, and bone remodeling. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various pathological conditions, making it a valuable target for researchers investigating cellular signaling mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 16C8, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity, ensuring that optimization efforts translate reliably across experiments and over time.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple applications. In Western blot analysis, the antibody detects PTK2B at the expected 116 kDa molecular weight in human cell lines including Jurkat, A431, THP-1, and COLO205, as well as in mouse and rat brain tissue lysates, confirming reliable cross-species reactivity for comparative studies. Immunofluorescence staining in A549 cells reveals clear cytoplasmic localization, while flow cytometry analysis in Jurkat cells shows distinct positive signal separation from isotype controls, providing flexibility for both imaging and quantitative single-cell approaches.
The unconjugated format allows researchers to pair this antibody with their preferred detection systems. For investigators studying signal transduction, immune cell biology, or neurological processes, this antibody provides a dependable tool for interrogating PTK2B expression and localization across diverse experimental contexts.
