Vimentin Protein, Human (sf9, His)

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. The total length of Vimentin Protein, Human (sf9, His) is 466 a.a., with molecular weight of ~55.11 kDa.

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.

Approximately 55.11 kDa

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 40% acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
