Crystal structure of vimentin coil1A/1B fragment
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 22869704
Function
[VIME_HUMAN] Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally.[1] Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.[2]
About this Structure
