Anti-Vimentin, clone V9

0.5mg/ml with 1% BSA and 0.01% sodium azide if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile 1XPBS. The VIM gene was one of many that Gieser and Swaroop (1992) recovered from a subtracted cDNA library for retinal pigment epithelium. The Vimentin gene expresses in human lymphocytes and in Burkitts lymphoma cells and it is secreted by activated macrophages. The gene encoding human protein is located on the short arm of chromosome 10. Protein function: Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. [The UniProt Consortium]
