Description | Specificity: Biotin-Vinculin antibody is human, mouse, rat, rabbit and chicken reactive. At least three isoforms of Vinculin are known to exist. Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein that plays an important role in the regulation of focal adhesions and embryonic development (1). Three structural vinculin domains include an amino-terminal head, a short flexible proline-rich region and a carboxy-terminal tail (2). Expression of vinculin were shown to be affected by the level of actin expression (2,3). Vinculin deficiencies are associated with a decrease in cell adhesion and an increase in cell motility, suggesting a possible role in metastatic growth (4). Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W (CMD1W) (5). |
Immunogen | Immunogen: Biotin-Vinculin antibody was raised against a 23 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human Vinculin. Buffer: Biotin-Vinculin Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. |
