Vimentin is a specific type III intermediate filament (IF) protein. It is abundantly expressed in mesenchymal cells. It is located on human chromosome 10p13.
The antibody detects endogenous level of total Vimentin protein.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around aa. 452-456 (G-Q-V-I-N), according to the protein NP_003371.2
Biochem/physiol Actions
Vimentin helps to preserve the structure of cell and stability of tissue in mesenchymal cells. It is involved in tumorigenesis, EMT (epithelial mesenchymal transition) and the metastatic spread of cancer. It also controls infectious internalization of human papillomavirus 16 pseudovirions.

ROCK2 is a protein involved in the restructuring of the cytoskeleton in cell adhesion and contractibility processes. miR-138-5p and miR-455-3p regulate Rock2 expression, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in different experimental cell models. However, their participation in the cytoarchitecture and
