Gene Information

Cat. No. SHH442764
Description The SureSilencing trade; shRNA Plasmids are designed to specifically knock down the expression of individual genes by RNA interference under either transient (with GFP) or stable transfection (for hygromycin, neomycin or puromycin-resistance) conditions after performance of the appropriate enrichment or selection procedures, respectively. Each vector contains the shRNA under control of the U1 promoter and either the GFP gene, for the enrichment of transiently transfected cells, or the neomycin or puromycin resistance genes, for the selection of stably transfected cells.
Gene Abbr VIM
Species Rat
Report Gene GFP
Storage The SureSilencing shRNA Plasmids are shipped on dry ice or cold packs. Store all tubes at -20°C.
Target Gene VIM
Background This gene encodes a type III intermediate filament protein. Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The encoded protein is responsible for maintaining cell shape and integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. This protein is involved in neuritogenesis and cholesterol transport and functions as an organizer of a number of other critical proteins involved in cell attachment, migration, and signaling. Bacterial and viral pathogens have been shown to attach to this protein on the host cell surface. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital cataracts in human patients.
