Additional Info
| Post Translational Modifications | Filament disassembly during mitosis is promoted by phosphorylation at Ser-55 as well as by nestin. One of the most prominent phosphoproteins in various cells of mesenchymal origin. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell division, at which time vimentin filaments are significantly reorganized. Phosphorylation by PKN1 inhibits the formation of filaments. Phosphorylated at Ser-56 by CDK5 during neutrophil secretion in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylated by STK33. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by SRMS. O-glycosylated during cytokinesis at sites identical or close to phosphorylation sites, this interferes with the phosphorylation status. S-nitrosylation is induced by interferon-gamma and oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL(ox)) possibly implicating the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex. |
| 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. Protects SCRIB from proteasomal degradation and facilitates its localization to intermediate filaments in a cell contact-mediated manner. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Human VIM (Vimentin) Antibody Pair (STJAP00115)
This antibody pair detects human Vimentin (VIM, UniProt P08670). Reactivity is confirmed for human samples only.
The capture antibody is an unconjugated mouse monoclonal antibody supplied at 0.5 mg/mL in PBS with 0.04% Proclin 300 and 50% glycerol, pH 7.4. The detection antibody is a biotin-conjugated goat polyclonal antibody supplied at the same concentration and formulation.
This antibody pair is validated for use in ELISA. No other assay formats are listed in the product specifications.
Both the capture and detection antibodies were raised against recombinant human VIM protein. The capture antibody was purified using Protein A or G, while the detection antibody was purified by antigen affinity chromatography.
Both components should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain antibody integrity.
