Abstract excerpt
Vimentin belongs to the diverse multigene family of intermediate filament proteins, each member of which is expressed in a tissue-specific and developmentally regulated pattern. The existence of vimentin filaments has been documented in oocytes, eggs, and early embryos of Xenopus laevis, but the role of these cytoskeletal components remains unknown. To investigate the functions of vimentin during early...
