• Sequence Length: 466

• Source: Escherichia Coli.
• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Vimentin in sterile 4mM HCl not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Reconstitution: After vimentin is dissolved in 9.5M 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 Tris-HCl, 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 Vimentin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution Vimentin 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:
Vimentin Human Recombinant produced in E.coli cells is a single non-glycosylated protein containing 465 amino acids chain and having a molecular mass of 53.5kDa. The Vimentin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques

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

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]
