Anti-Talin (KIAA1027, TLN, TLN1)

Immunoblots the 225kD talin band on SDS gels of platelets and other cells. It may be used to stain adhesion plaques in fixed and permeabilised fibroblasts. T0750-20A recognizes an epitope within residues 139-433. This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein that is concentrated in areas of cell-substratum and cell-cell contacts. The encoded protein plays a significant role in the assembly of actin filaments and in spreading and migration of various cell types, including fibroblasts and osteoclasts. It codistributes with integrins in the cell surface membrane in order to assist in the attachment of adherent cells to extracellular matrices and of lymphocytes to other cells. The N-terminus of this protein contains elements for localization to cell-extracellular matrix junctions. The C-terminus contains binding sites for proteins such as beta-1-integrin, actin, and vinculin., , Applications:, Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunohistochemistry.
