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. |
Tissue Specificity
|
Highly expressed in fibroblasts, some expression in T- and B-lymphocytes, and little or no expression in Burkitt’s lymphoma cell lines. Expressed in many hormone- independent mammary carcinoma cell lines. |
Sub-cellular localization
|
Cytoplasm. |
Sequence Similarities
|
Belongs to the intermediate filament family. |
