Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes vinculin (gene VCL) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 123.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 124 kDa.
Vinculin is an actin-binding protein found at focal adhesions and adherens junctions. It links integrin- and cadherin-based adhesions to the actin cytoskeleton and helps these junctions respond to mechanical force. Vinculin is a standard marker of focal adhesions in studies of cell adhesion, migration and mechanobiology.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human PC-3 cells, human U251 cells, human A549 cells, rat heart tissue, rat lung tissue, mouse heart tissue, mouse lung tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human Vinculin fragment (Glu930–Gln1134), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 87.7%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places vinculin in the cell membrane, cell junction and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Metavinculin is muscle-specific. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
