Subunit: [Isoform Beta]: Interacts strongly with PTK2/FAK1 and weakly with VCL/vinculin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9054445}.
Subunit: [Isoform Gamma]: Interacts strongly with VCL/vinculin but only weakly with PTK2/FAK1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9054445}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20489202}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20489202, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23128389}. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VI36}. Note=Colocalizes with integrins at the cell periphery. Colocalize with PXN to membrane ruffles and the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:23128389). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23128389}.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by MAPK1/ERK2 (By similarity). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues during integrin-mediated cell adhesion, embryonic development, fibroblast transformation and following stimulation of cells by mitogens. Phosphorylation at Ser-244 by CDK5 reduces its interaction with PTK2/FAK1 in matrix-cell focal adhesions (MCFA) during oligodendrocytes (OLs) differentiation. Phosphorylation at Tyr-31 and Tyr-118 by PTK6 promote the activation of RAC1 via CRK/CrKII, thereby promoting migration and invasion. Phosphorylation at Ser-250 by SLK is required for PXN redistribution and cell motility (PubMed:23128389). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11774284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15572663, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18042622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23128389}.
Similarity: Belongs to the paxillin family. {ECO:0000305}.
