Vimentin on the move: new developments in cell migration

2018-11-15

Abstract excerpt

The vimentin gene ( VIM ) encodes one of the 71 human intermediate filament (IF) proteins, which are the building blocks of highly ordered, dynamic, and cell type-specific fiber networks. Vimentin is a multi-functional 466 amino acid protein with a high degree of evolutionary conservation among vertebrates. Vim −/− mice, though viable, exhibit systemic defects related to development and wound repair, which may...
