Background Information
FAK (Focal adhesion kinase 1) is also named as FAK1, FADK, pp125FAK, FAK and belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. It is a critical tyrosine kinase that modulates cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and survival in response to extracellular signals (PMID:19664602). It also acts as a pivotal signal 'integrator', controlling and coordinating cellular responses that include cell migration, survival, proliferation and, epithelial tissue repair after DNA damage (PMID:20966971). This protein has some isoforms produced by alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing, and the range of the molecular weights are 100-120kD and 40-60kD.
