ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 2F17 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Zyxin. It targets an epitope within 20 amino acids from the C-terminal half.

KLH-conjugate linear peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids from the C-terminal half of human Zyxin.

Anti-Zyxin, clone 2F17 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1408, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that targets Zyxin and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Zyxin in NIH/3T3 cell lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Zyxin in human uterus and human prostate tissue sections.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Zyxin in HeLa, HUVEC, and A431 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Zyxin (UniProt: Q15942; also known as Zyxin-2) is encoded by the ZYX gene (Gene ID: 7791) in human. Zyxin is an evolutionarily conserved LIM domain protein that is widely expressed and has been implicated in cell adhesion, cell motility, and signaling. It acts as an adhesion plaque protein concentrated at sites of cell adhesion, particularly where the ends of actin filament adjoin the membrane and is thought to link the actin cytoskeletal to the membrane. It does not bind directly to actin filaments, but is reported to associate with members of the Enabled (Ena)/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family of cytoskeletal regulators through which it can direct the actin assembly and plays a role in cytoskeletal dynamics and signaling. Zyxin contains three LIM zinc binding domains (aa 384-443; 444-503; and 504-570), which act as a negative regulator of Zyxin-VASP complexes. Also, it contains four proline rich repeats (aa 64-77; 94-108; 115-121; and 127-137) that are known to interact directly with Ena/VASP proteins. Loss of Zyxin results in inability to thicken stress fibers in response to mechanical stimuli. Zyxin activity is regulated by its phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of Zyxin at serine 142 is reported to increase acinus-S access to the C-terminal LIM domain. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
