Mouse Vimentin (Vim) ELISA Kit

This sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of mouse vimentin (Vim), a class-III intermediate filament protein involved in maintaining cell shape and integrity. Vimentin is implicated in processes such as cell migration, wound healing and cancer metastasis, and is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally.

The assay uses a sandwich ELISA format with colorimetric detection at 450 nm and is compatible with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. It detects natural and recombinant mouse vimentin in cytoplasmic samples. According to the manufacturer's specifications, the detection range is 0.312-20ng/mL and the sensitivity is 0.156ng/mL. Intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity and recovery values are provided with the kit.

The target protein is associated with the neuroscience research area and functions with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2, with a reported molecular weight of 61.0 kDa. For research use only.
