| Gene Symbol | VIM |
| Gene Full Name | vimentin |
| Background | Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The encoded protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. This protein is involved in neuritogenesis and cholesterol transport and functions as an organizer of a number of other critical proteins involved in cell attachment, migration, and signaling. Bacterial and viral pathogens have been shown to attach to this protein on the host cell surface. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts in human patients.

| Function | Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.

| PTM | Filament disassembly during mitosis is promoted by phosphorylation at Ser-55 as well as by nestin (By similarity). One of the most prominent phosphoproteins in various cells of mesenchymal origin. Phosphorylation is enhanced during cell division, at which time vimentin filaments are significantly reorganized. Phosphorylation by PKN1 inhibits the formation of filaments. Phosphorylated at Ser-56 by CDK5 during neutrophil secretion in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylated by STK33. O-glycosylated during cytokinesis at sites identical or close to phosphorylation sites, this interferes with the phosphorylation status. S-nitrosylation is induced by interferon-gamma and oxidatively-modified low-densitity lipoprotein (LDL(ox)) possibly implicating the iNOS-S100A8/9 transnitrosylase complex. |

ARG52468 anti-Vimentin antibody ICC/IF image
Immunofluorescence: Mixed neuron/glial cultures stained with anti-Vimentin (green) and rabbit anti-GFAP antibody (ARG52312) (red). Vimentin is expressed alone in fibroblastic and endothelial cells, which are the flattened cells in the middle of the image which appear green. Astrocytes may express primarily GFAP, or GFAP and vimentin, and so appear red (GFAP only) or golden yellow (GFAP and Vimentin). In cells which express both GFAP and vimentin, the two proteins assemble to produce heteropolymer filaments.

Immunofluorescence: HeLa cells stained with ARG52468 anti-Vimentin antibody (green) at 1:10000 dilution, and costained with anti-Actin antibody (red) at 1:500 dilution. DAPI (blue) for nuclear staining.
The Vimentin antibody stains the intermediate filament network while the Actin antibody labels the submembranous cytoskeleton, stress fibers, and bundles of actin associated with cell adhesion sites.

Western blot: Rat brain, HeLa, SH-SY5Y, HEK293 and NIH/3T3 cell lysates stained with ARG52468 anti-Vimentin antibody (red) at 1:5000 dilution.
The blot was simultaneously stained with ARG10720 anti-MAP2cd antibody [2C4] (green) at 1:5000 dilution, revealing multiple bands around 280 kDa that correspond to full length MAP2a/b isotypes while the ~ 70 kDa bands are MAP2c/d isotypes. MAP2 isotypes are seen only in extracts containing neuronal lineage cells.
