Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody [clone VM1170] (V2928)

Description

Vimentin (VIM) is a type III intermediate filament protein that plays an important role in intracellular transport and organelle positioning within the cytoplasm. Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody is specifically positioned for studying cytoskeletal contributions to intracellular organization and trafficking processes. This Vimentin Antibody is uniquely positioned for analyzing organelle positioning and cytoskeleton-mediated transport dynamics in mesenchymal and metabolically active cells. Vimentin is also referred to as Vimentin antibody and VIM antibody in the literature.

Vimentin forms a structural network that supports the spatial organization of organelles such as mitochondria, endosomes, and the nucleus. The Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody enables investigation of how cytoskeletal structures influence intracellular distribution and transport pathways.

Vimentin interacts with microtubules and motor proteins to coordinate transport processes, ensuring proper localization of organelles and intracellular components. Its expression is associated with cells that require efficient trafficking and spatial organization for normal function.

Functionally, Vimentin supports cytoskeletal architecture that facilitates intracellular communication and transport. The Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody differentiator is central to this antibody, positioning it for studies focused on intracellular organization rather than adhesion, migration, or EMT biology. A Vimentin Antibody provides a reliable tool for analyzing cytoskeletal involvement in intracellular transport and organelle positioning.

Application Notes

Optimal dilution of the Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Recombinant full-length human protein was used as the immunogen for the Vimentin Antibody / Intracellular Transport Marker Antibody.

Storage

Store the anti-Vimentin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).

Alternate Names

Vimentin antibody, VIM antibody, intermediate filament protein antibody, intracellular transport marker antibody, organelle positioning marker antibody, cytoskeletal transport marker antibody
