Vimentin: ELISA Kits

Vimentin is a 57 kDa structural protein that belongs to the intermediate filament family. As such, it plays a key role in maintaining cell integrity, and is involved in cell migration and adhesion. Vimentin is ubiquitously expressed during early embryonic development, but it is gradually replaced in many cell types by more specific intermediate filaments. Postnatal expression of vimentin is restricted to mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, leukocytes, and renal ...
