Description

Description générale

Monoclonal Anti-Vimentin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the V9 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a mouse immunized with vimentin purified from pig eye lens.

Vimentin is encoded by a single-copy gene mapped to human chromosome 10p13. 53kDa vimentin protein belongs to type III intermediate filament (IF) family and is specifically expressed in normal mesenchymal cells. Vimentin protein with 466 amino acids is characterized with a highly conserved α-helical “rod” domain that is flanked by non-α--helical amino- terminal “head” and carboxy-terminal “tail” domain.

Spécificité

The antibody localizes vimentin in fibroblasts, endothelial cells, lymphoid tissue and melanocytes in immunohistochemical staining. It also stains vimentin in sarcomas, lymphomas, and melanomas.

Immunogène

pig eye lens vimentin.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Vimentin antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunohistochemical analysis and western blot assay.

Monoclonal Anti-Vimentin antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry
• immunocytochemistry
• immunoblotting
• flow cytometry.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Vimentin plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the cells. Overexpression of vimentin is observed in prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, central nervous system (CNS) tumors, malignant melanoma and gastrointestinal tumors including pancreatic, colorectal and hepatic cancers. Thus, vimentin can act as a target for developing therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Vimentin plays a crucial role in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1)-induced activation of the protein kinase G (PKG) 1 signaling pathway, stimulating regression of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Vimentin filaments are implicated in various physiological process including migration, maintenance of cell shape and tolerance of mechanical stress of mesenchymal cells. Vimentin interacts with LARP6 (La ribonucleoprotein domain family member 6) and stabilizes type I collagen mRNAs and might play a vital role in the development of tissue fibrosis. Vimentin plays an essential role in the maintenance of lens integrity, therefore, mutation of the vimentin gene causes dominant and pulverulent cataract.
