Product Overview
p-Vimentin (S56) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Vimentin protein when phosphorylated at Ser56.
Phosphorylation of Vimentin induces disassembly of Vimentin intermediate filaments in vivo and in vitro. Binding of 14-3-3 depends on Vimentin phosphorylation and requires the phosphopeptide binding domain of 14-3-3, which is an amino terminal head domain consisting of amino acids 1-96. Phosphorylated Vimentin sequesters 14-3-3 and limits its availability to other target proteins, which can affect intracellular signaling processes that require 14-3-3. The amino-terminal domain of Vimentin is the target site for several protein kinases, including Rho kinase and PKC.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human, Mouse, Rat samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
