Vimentin Protein, Human (sf9, His)

1 Cited Publications
Customer Review

Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar

Vimentin, a class-III intermediate filament, predominantly exists in non-epithelial cells, particularly mesenchymal cells. This structural protein forms networks linking the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. Teaming up with LARP6, vimentin stabilizes messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of type I collagen, notably CO1A1 and CO1A2, showcasing its role in regulating extracellular matrix components crucial for cellular structure and integrity. Vimentin Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived Vimentin protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

Vimentin, a class-III intermediate filament, predominantly exists in non-epithelial cells, particularly mesenchymal cells. This structural protein forms networks linking the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. Teaming up with LARP6, vimentin stabilizes messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of type I collagen, notably CO1A1 and CO1A2, showcasing its role in regulating extracellular matrix components crucial for cellular structure and integrity. Vimentin Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived Vimentin protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

Vimentin, a class-III intermediate filament, is predominantly present in non-epithelial cells, particularly mesenchymal cells. This protein forms a structural network, linking to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria either laterally or terminally. In collaboration with LARP6, vimentin plays a crucial role in stabilizing the messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of type I collagen, specifically CO1A1 and CO1A2, emphasizing its involvement in the regulation of extracellular matrix components essential for cellular structure and integrity.
