Zyxin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZYX gene.[1][2][3]

Focal adhesions are actin-rich structures that enable cells to adhere to the extracellular matrix and at which protein complexes involved in signal transduction assemble. Zyxin is a zinc-binding phosphoprotein that concentrates at focal adhesions and along the actin cytoskeleton. Zyxin has an N-terminal proline-rich domain and three LIM domains in its C-terminal half. The proline-rich domain may interact with SH3 domains of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways while the LIM domains are likely involved in protein-protein binding. Zyxin may function as a messenger in the signal transduction pathway that mediates adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression and may modulate the cytoskeletal organization of actin bundles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same isoform.[3]

Interactions

Zyxin has been shown to interact with ENAH,[4][5] LASP1,[6] LATS1,[7] Actinin, alpha 1[8][9] and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein.[5][10]
