Product uses
- Investigating vimentin filament dynamics.
- Identification of vimentin associated proteins.
- Vimentin is an excellent substrate for protein kinases.
Material
Recombinant Syrian hamster vimentin has been expressed in and purified from a bacterial expression system.
Purity
Purity is determined by scanning densitometry of the protein on an SDS-PAGE gel. Vimentin is >90% pure.

Biological Activity
The protein is supplied in a non-polymerized form. Polymerization to form vimentin intermediate filaments (IFs) can proceed by the addition of NaCl to 150 mM final concentration. V01 has a critical concentration 0.017 mg/ml.
