Background:
Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein that plays an important role in the regulation of focal adhesions and embryonic development (1). Three structural vinculin domains include an amino-terminal head, a short flexible proline-rich region and a carboxy-terminal tail (2). Expression of vinculin were shown to be affected by the level of actin expression (2,3). Vinculin deficiencies are associated with a decrease in cell adhesion and an increase in cell motility, suggesting a possible role in metastatic growth (4). Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W (CMD1W) (5).

DISCLAIMER:
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Immunogen:
Anti-Vinculin antibody (7807) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 23 amino acids near the amino terminus of human Vinculin.
ISOFORMS:
Human Vinculin has 3 isoforms, including isoform 2 (1134aa, 124kD), isoform 1 (1066aa, 117kD) and isoform 3 (222aa, 25kD). Mouse Vinculin has one isoform (1066aa, 117kD) and Rat Vinculin also has one isoform (1066aa, 117kD). 7807 can detect human, mouse and rat.

VALIDATION:
Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 1) shows similar Vinculin expression profile in human, mouse and rat cell lines detected by three independent anti-Vinculin antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 7489 against C-terminus domain, 7807 against N-terminus domain and 7809 against central domain. Vinculin proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the three independent antibodies.
