Vectors for Human VIM

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol VIM
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name vimentin
  • Other Aliases -
  • Other Desigations vimentin; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes 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.
