Vimentin antibody is a specific tool for detecting vimentin, a type III intermediate filament protein encoded by the VIM gene. Vimentin forms part of the cytoskeleton in mesenchymal cells, where it provides structural support and organizes cellular architecture. Its dynamic properties enable adaptation during migration, wound healing, and differentiation. Because vimentin expression is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition, it is widely studied in cancer biology, cell biology, and developmental research.
Vimentin assembles into filaments that extend from the nucleus to the plasma membrane, anchoring organelles and integrating signaling pathways. It interacts with actin filaments and microtubules to support cellular polarity and trafficking. Beyond its structural role, vimentin contributes to immune responses, wound repair, and pathogen interactions. Dysregulated vimentin expression is a hallmark of invasive carcinomas and fibrotic disorders.
The Vimentin antibody clone VM452 provides reliable and specific detection of this cytoskeletal protein. Clone VM452 has been cited in peer-reviewed publications exploring tumor progression, cellular migration, and mesenchymal differentiation. Recombinant-grade performance ensures reproducibility across experiments and long-term studies.
Research with clone VM452 has clarified how vimentin expression marks epithelial-mesenchymal transition during cancer invasion and metastasis. It is also valuable in distinguishing sarcomas and other mesenchymal neoplasms from carcinomas in diagnostic pathology. In basic biology, vimentin detection aids in understanding cytoskeletal remodeling and responses to mechanical stress. This antibody remains essential in both laboratory and translational studies.
NSJ Bioreagents provides this Vimentin antibody to support research in oncology, developmental biology, and cell structure. Alternate designations include VIM antibody, type III intermediate filament antibody, mesenchymal marker antibody, fibroblast cytoskeletal protein antibody, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker antibody.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
Recombinant protein was used as the immunogen for the Vimentin antibody.
Store the Vimentin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
