Description
- Description: The monoclonal antibody 7F9 (VIIF9) recognizes human, mouse, rat, and avian vinculin and its alternatively spliced isoform, metavinculin
- Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions
- Vinculin is involved in the anchoring of F-actin to the membrane and the regulation of E-cadherin expression
- Vinculin binds to talin, paxillin, and alpha-actinin
- Disregulation of vinculin alters cell adhesion, migration, and growth, which promotes cancer invasion and metastasis
- Applications Reported: This 7F9 antibody has been reported for use in western blotting, immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, immunocytochemistry, and microscopy
- Applications Tested: This 7F9 antibody has been tested by immunocytochemistry on methanol-fixed or formaldehyde-fixed and permeabilized cells and can be used at less than or equal to 5 μg/mL
- This antibody has been tested by immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue using low pH antigen retrieval buffer and can be used at less than or equal to 5 μg/mL
- The antibody has been tested by western blot on reduced and non-reduced cell lysates and can be used at less than or equal to 5 μg/mL
- It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest
- Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE
- Vinculin (VCL) is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adherens-type junctions
- It functions as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane
- It has been shown that a sequence of molecular interactions might be involved in the transmembrane assembly of adhesion plaques
- In the assembly of adhesion plaques, the beta subunit of integrin binds to talin
- Talin binds to vinculin that interacts with alpha-actinin and possibly with itself
- Since alpha-actinin binds to and cross-links actin filaments, vinculin represents a key element in the transmembrane linkage of the extracellular matrix to the cytoplasmic microfilament system
- Mutations in the gene can result in cardiomyopathy dilated 1W or familial hypertrophic 15.
