Gene Full Name :

Vinculin

Synonyms :

Vinculin; Metavinculin; MV; VCL;

Protein Name :

Vinculin

Molecular Weight :

123799 MW

Protein Function :

Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell- surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion.

Subcellular Localization :

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, adherens junction. Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cytoplasmic face of adhesion plaques. Recruitment to cell-cell junctions occurs in a myosin II- dependent manner. Interaction with CTNNB1 is necessary for its localization to the cell-cell junctions (By similarity). Colocalizes with LIMD1 in the focal adhesions.

Tissue Specificity :

Metavinculin is muscle-specific.

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot, and HRP Conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (SV0002-1) for IHC(P).

Sequence Similarities :

Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.

Background :

Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined.
