Description

Vimentin From Bovine Lens is a high-purity, native protein isolated from bovine ocular tissue, widely recognized as a key intermediate filament protein. It serves as a critical biological reagent and reference standard in cytoskeletal and cellular structure research. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and diagnostic industries, particularly for use in antibody validation, disease model studies, and biochemical assays.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a standard antigen for the production and validation of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies targeting vimentin.
• Cell Biology Studies: A vital reagent for investigating intermediate filament dynamics, cell structure, adhesion, and migration.
• Disease Mechanism Research: Employed in studies of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), fibrosis, cancer metastasis, and cataract formation.
• Diagnostic Development: Serves as a reference material in the development of immunoassays and histological staining kits.
• Biochemical Analysis: Used in protein-protein interaction studies, Western blotting controls, and as a substrate for enzymatic assays.
• Pharmaceutical Screening: Acts as a target protein in drug discovery platforms aimed at modulating cytoskeletal functions.

Quality Control

Our Vimentin From Bovine Lens is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including purity assessment and functional characterization. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and biological activity is provided with every shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Aliquot into working portions to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
