Cat#:PA-092F;Product Name:Mouse Anti-Vimentin Antibody;Synonym:FLJ36605; OTTHUMP00000019224; VIM; VIME; vimentin; Vimentin; VIM; FLJ36605;Background:Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein that is expressed in mesenchymal cells. IF proteins are found in all metazoan cells as well as bacteria. IF, along with tubulin-based microtubules and actin-based microfilaments, comprise the cytoskeleton. All IF proteins are expressed in a highly developmentally-regulated fashion; vimentin is the major cytoskeletal component of mesenchymal cells. Because of this, vimentin is often used as a marker of mesenchymally-derived cells or cells undergoing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during both normal development and metastatic progression.;Description:Mouse Anti-Vimentin Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Mouse;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:VIM3C5;Isotype:IgG2a;Application:FCM, IFA, IHC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
