Validation:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 2) shows similar Vinculin expression profile in human, mouse and rat cell lines detected by three independent anti-Vinculin antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 7489 against C-terminus domain, 7807 against N-terminus domain and 7809 against central domain.  Vinculin proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the three independent antibodies. 

Isoform: Human Vinculin has 3 isoforms, including isoform 2 (1134aa, 124kD) , isoform 1 (1066aa, 117kD) and isoform 3 (222aa, 25kD) . Mouse Vinculin has one isoform (1066aa, 117kD) and Rat Vinculin also has one isoform (1066aa, 117kD) . 7809 can detect human, mouse and rat.

BACKGROUND: Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein that plays an important role in the regulation of focal adhesions and embryonic development (1) . Three structural vinculin domains include an amino-terminal head, a short flexible proline-rich region and a carboxy-terminal tail (2) . Expression of vinculin were shown to be affected by the level of actin expression (2, 3) . Vinculin deficiencies are associated with a decrease in cell adhesion and an increase in cell motility, suggesting a possible role in metastatic growth (4) . Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W (CMD1W) (5) .
