Form/Format

Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the Bovine Vimentin in sterile 18M Omega -cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Reconstitution
After vimentin is dissolved in 6M urea buffer (see above), protofilaments and filament complexes are obtained by dialyzing the resulting polypeptide solution stepwise to a concentration of 4M urea and then to low salt condition (50mM NaCl, 2mM dithiothreitol, 10mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.4). For immunization purposes, the solution can be further dialyzed against PBS (phosphate buffered saline, e.g. Dulbecco''s PBS).- Hatzfeld M. and Franke W.W. (1985). J. Cell Biol. 101, 1826-1841.- Hatzfeld M. et al. (1987). J. Mol. Biol. 197, 237-255.
Preparation and Storage
Lyophilized Bovine Vimentin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution BovineVimentin should be stored at 4 degree C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 degree C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Description: Bovine Vimentin protein produced in Bovine Lens, having a molecular weight of 57 kDa.
Introduction: Vimentin expression in human malignant glioma cells depends on cellular density, algorithms of drug delivery and chemo/radio treatment. Vimentin and detyrosinated microtubules provide structural support for the extensive microtentacles observed in detached tumor cells and a mechanism to promote successful metastatic spread. Primary colorectal carcinomas display aberrant expression of vimentin, and have activated Notch and TGFbeta signaling pathways. Vimentin is a strong arterial substrate for transglutaminases. Transglutaminase-mediated vimentin dimerization results in a novel unifying pathway by which vasodilatory and remodeling responses may be regulated. Ablation of vimentin expression inhibits migration and invasion of colon and breast cancer cell lines. Vimentin is the main intermediate filament protein in mesenchymal cells and is therefore of value in the differential identification of undifferentiated neoplasms.

Product Notes
The VIM vim (Catalog #AAA143077) is a Native Protein produced from Bovine Lens and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Vimentin, Native Protein" 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.Precautions
