• Immunogen: A synthesized peptide derived from human Vimentin around the phosphorylation site of Ser39.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

• Post Translational Modifications: Filament disassembly during mitosis is promoted by phosphorylation at Ser-55 as well as by nestin (By similarity). One of the most prominent phosphoproteins in various cells of mesenchymal origin. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell division, at which time vimentin filaments are significantly reorganized. Phosphorylation by PKN1 inhibits the formation of filaments. Phosphorylated at Ser-56 by CDK5 during neutrophil secretion in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylated by STK33. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by SRMS.O-glycosylated during cytokinesis at sites identical or close to phosphorylation sites, this interferes with the phosphorylation status. S-nitrosylation is induced by interferon-gamma and oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL (ox)) possibly implicating the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex.
• Subunit Structure: Homopolymer assembled from elementary dimers. Interacts with LGSN and SYNM. Interacts (via rod region) with PLEC (via CH 1 domain) (By similarity). Interacts with SLC6A4. Interacts with STK33. Interacts with LARP6. Interacts with RAB8B (By similarity). Interacts with TOR1A; the interaction associates TOR1A with the cytoskeleton. Interacts with TOR1AIP1. Interacts with BCAS3. Interacts with DIAPH1. Identified in complexes that contain VIM, EZR, AHNAK, BFSP1, BFSP2, ANK2, PLEC, PRX and spectrin (By similarity). Interacts with EPPK1; interaction is dependent of higher-order structure of intermediate filament. Interacts with the non-receptor tyrosine kinase SRMS; the interaction leads to phosphorylation of VIM. Interacts with NOD2. Interacts (via head region) with CORO1C (By similarity). Interacts with HDGF (isoform 2). (Microbial infection) Interacts with HCV core protein.
• Similarity: The central alpha-helical coiled-coil IF rod domain mediates elementary homodimerization.The [IL]-x-C-x-x-[DE] motif is a proposed target motif for cysteine S-nitrosylation mediated by the iNOS-S100A8/A9 transnitrosylase complex.Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
• Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm>Cytoskeleton. Nucleus matrix.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament family. Intermediate filamentents, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The protein encoded by this gene is responsible for maintaining cell shape, integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. It is also involved in the immune response, and controls the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from a lysosome to the site of esterification. It functions as an organizer of a number of critical proteins involved in attachment, migration, and cell signaling. Mutations in this gene causes a dominant, pulverulent cataract.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]
