Product Name :
Vimentin (I444) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Cytoskeletal intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute a diverse group of proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Intermediate filaments are constructed from two-chain, α-helical, coiled-coil molecules arranged on an imperfect helical lattice and have been widely used as markers for distinguishing individual cell types within a tissue and identifying the origins of metastatic tumors. One such intermediate filament protein, Vimentin, is a general marker of cells originating in the mesenchyme. Vimentin is frequently coexpressed with other members of the intermediate filament family, such as the cytokeratins, in neoplasms including melanoma and breast carcinoma. Alternative Name :
Vimentin; VIM Swiss-Prot :
P08670 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide Vimentin (I444). (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS1491 Vimentin (I444) pAb.
