Anti-Vinculin (MVCL, CMD1W, CMH15, metavinculin)

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with the cytoplasmic face of both cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adherens-type junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane . both human and chicken embryo sequences of vinculin contain 1,066 amino acids and, furthermore, that the 2 proteins exhibit a high level of sequence identity (greater than 95%). Vinculinis mapped to 10q22.1-q23. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (Frozen): 2-4ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
