      DescriptionAnti-Vimentin Antibody, clone LN-6
      Background InformationVimentin is a class III intermediate filament protein (homopolymers) found in various non-epithelial cells including mesenchymal cells and fibroblasts. In many cells of mesenchymal origin, it is one of the most prominent phosphoproteins, especially during cell division when enhanced phosphorylation of vimentin corresponds with the reorganization of vimentin filaments.

      SpecificityReacts with human mesenchymal cells and derived sarcomas. Reacts with an epitope of the cytoskeletal protein vimentin but unlike other vimentin antibodies, does not react with human lymphoid cells or derived malignancies. Reactive with endothelium, muscle, fibroblasts, melanocytes, peripheral nerve, sertoli cells, kidney mesangial cells and tubules, osteoblasts and periosteum, non-hematopoietic tumors of mesenchymal origin (all sarcomas), meningiomas and melanomas.

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryAlong with the microfilaments (actins) and microtubules (tubulins), the intermediate filaments represent a third class of well-characterized cytoskeletal elements. The subunits display a tissue-specific pattern of expression. Desmin (MIM 125660) is the subunit specific for muscle and vimentin the subunit specific for mesenchymal tissue.[supplied by OMIM]

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P08670 # Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells.
      SIZE: 466 amino acids; 53652 Da
      SUBUNIT: Homopolymer. Component of a complex composed at least of ACTB, AP2M1, AP2A1, AP2A2, MEGF10 and VIM. Interacts with HCV core protein.
      TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in fibroblasts, some expression in T- and B-lymphocytes, and little or no expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. Expressed in many hormone- independent mammary carcinoma cell lines.
      PTM: 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.
      SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P08670 ## Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
      Molecular Weight57-60 kDa
