Anti-Vimentin Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Vimentin protein.
The VIM (vimentin) gene codes for an intermediate filament protein, that is expressed throughout mesenchymal cells. VIM gene is mapped to human chromosome 10p13.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Vimentin.
Immunogen Range: 56-105
Biochem/physiol Actions
Vimentin is known to promote epithelial to mesenchymal transition and contributes to metastasis in cancer such as ovarian cancer. Vimentin preserves cellular structure and tissue integrity. Vimentin is also known to bring about TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) induced cell apoptosis.

The antitumor immune response is a critical defense system that eliminates malignant cells. The failure of the system results in immune escape and proceeds to tumor growth. We have previously showed that estrogen receptor-binding fragment-associated antigen 9 (EBAG9) is a
The ubiquitin ligase TRIM56 inhibits ovarian cancer progression by targeting vimentin.
Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a pivotal event in diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study explored the role of circRNA zinc finger protein 532 (circZNF532) in regulating EndMT in DR progression. Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were exposed to high glucose
Both RhoA/ROCK and Raf-1/CK2 pathway play essential roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and multiple other common cellular functions. We previously reported that vimentin is responsible for TNF-α-induced cell apoptosis. Herein, we investigated the regulation of RhoA/ROCK and Raf-1/CK2 signaling

In breast cancer, tumor-associated macrophages with activated phenotypes promote tumor invasion and metastasis. The more aggressive mesenchymal-like breast cancer cells have a selective advantage, skewing macrophages toward the more immunosuppressive subtype. However, the mechanism underlying this shift is poorly understood.
