Recombinant Vimentin/VIM is a full-length of mature protein derived from the yeast cells. The expression region of this protein is the 2-466aa of human VIM protein. It carries an N-terminal 6xHis-tag and has a calculated molecular weight of 55.5 kDa. Its purity is greater than 90% determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. This recombinant VIM protein may be used to produce specific antibodies or in the studies of VIM-related cancer.
VIM is an intermediate filament (IF) helping to stabilize focal adhesion that governs cell migration. It also functions as a signal transducer from the extracellular matrix (ECM) to the nuclei. The VIM network recruits rapid phosphorylation and dephosphorylation that modulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion and facilitate directional cell motility. Pei-Wen Wang etc. demonstrated a new mechanism that VIM controlled the proliferation, differentiation, and movement of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) through the ERK/AKT and Rho cascades. The study of Longxiang Su etc. revealed that VIM exerts a role in regulating immune cell apoptosis and inflammatory responses in sepsis.
