Target data

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. Plays a role in cell directional movement, orientation, cell sheet organization and Golgi complex polarization at the cell migration front (By similarity). Protects SCRIB from proteasomal degradation and facilitates its localization to intermediate filaments in a cell contact-mediated manner (By similarity). Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.

Notes

Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab137321) is a rabbit polyclonal antibody and is validated for use in ICC/IF, IHC-P, IP, WB in chicken, chinese hamster, cow, dog, human, mouse, rat samples.

Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab137321) has been cited over 257 times in peer reviewed journals and is trusted by the scientific community.

Abcam's high quality validation processes ensure Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab137321) has high sensitivity and specificity.

Anti-Vimentin antibody (ab137321) specifically detects Vimentin protein (UniProt ID: P08670; Molecular weight: 54kDa) and is sold in 50 µL selling sizes.

Vimentin is a type of intermediate filament protein that plays a significant role in cancer biology. It is commonly used as a marker for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process where epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal properties, which is crucial for cancer metastasis. Vimentin is often overexpressed in various types of cancers and its overexpression is associated with increased tumor growth, invasion, and poor prognosis.

Abcam is leading the way to address reproducibility in scientific research with our highly validated recombinant monoclonal and recombinant multiclonal antibodies. Search & select one of Abcam's thousands of recombinant alternatives to eliminate batch-variability and unnecessary animal use.

If you do not find a host species to meet your needs, our catalogue and custom Chimeric range provides scientists the specificity of Abcam's RabMAbs in the species backbone of your choice. Remember to also review our range of edited cell lines, proteins and biochemicals relevant to your target that may help you further your research goals.
