Description
| Product Name: | Human Vimentin Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB5124 |
| Size: | 100µg |
| Species: | Human |
| Target: | Vimentin |
| Synonyms: | Vimentin, Vim, FLJ36605. |
| Source: | Escherichia Coli |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The Vimentin was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 30% Acetonitrile and 0.1% TFA. |
| 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. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized Vimentin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Vimentin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Purity: | Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |

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 diagnosis of undifferentiated neoplasms.
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.
| UniProt Protein Function: | 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. |

| NCBI Summary: | 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.
