Specificity

Specifically labels vinculin at cell-cell and cell-substrate contacts. Reacts strongly with human vinculin. Shows cross-reactivity with smooth muscle metavinculin.

Immunogen

purified human vinculin from uterus.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Vinculin-FITC antibody is suitable for immunofluorescence staining of fibroblasts cells to study the effects of nanofiber spatial organization on cell behaviors. It is also suitable for direct immunofluorescence at a dilution of 1:50 using methanol/acetone fixed cultured bovine MDBK cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein with molecular mass of ~116 kDa. Vinculin is closely associated with adhesive membrane areas, such as focal contacts, podosomes, or intercellular junctions of the zonula adherens type. It acts as a mediator in interactions of integrins and the actin cytoskeleton. It forms a bridge between integrins, receptors for ECM molecules on the cell surface and the F-actin cytoskeleton. It is associated with talin and α-actinin which directly connects with integrins. It has ability to bind α-catenin as well as the vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) in focal contact assembly.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

Ultrashort pulse lasers have significant advantages over conventional continuous wave and long pulse lasers for the texturing of metallic surfaces, especially for nanoscale surface structure patterning. Furthermore, ultrafast laser beam polarization allows for the precise control of the spatial alignment

The mediation of the extracellular matrix is one of the major environmental cues to direct cell migration, such as stiffness-dependent durotaxis and adhesiveness-dependent haptotaxis. In this study, we explore another possible contact guidance: roughness dependent topotaxis. Different from previously reported
