NCBI Description

This gene encodes a type III intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The encoded protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. This protein is involved in neuritogenesis and cholesterol transport and functions as an organizer of a number of other critical proteins involved in cell attachment, migration, and signaling. Bacterial and viral pathogens have been shown to attach to this protein on the host cell surface. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts in human patients.

Uniprot Description

Vimentin: an intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filament proteins are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Desmin is the subunit specific for muscle and vimentin the subunit specific for mesenchymal tissue.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10p13

Cellular Component: intermediate filament cytoskeleton; neuron projection; focal adhesion; cytoskeleton; cytoplasm; leading edge; plasma membrane; intermediate filament; peroxisome; cytosol

Molecular Function: protein C-terminus binding; identical protein binding; protein binding; structural constituent of cytoskeleton; double-stranded RNA binding; glycoprotein binding; structural constituent of eye lens

Biological Process: Bergmann glial cell differentiation; viral reproduction; apoptosis; intermediate filament organization; cell motility; astrocyte development; cell structure disassembly during apoptosis; muscle filament sliding

Product Notes

The VIM vim (Catalog #AAA6122491) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Vimentin (VIM) (Biotin) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Vimentin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB). IP: 1-2ug/500ug protein lysate FC/FACS: 0.5-1ug/10e6 cells IF: 1-2ug/ml WB: 0.5-1ug/ml Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the VIM vim for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vimentin, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
