- Vimentin methylation (Colosure)
- Vimentin methylation in stool
- Vimentin, methylated
- Description
- The VIM gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament family. VIM proteins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. These intermediate filaments, along with microtubules and actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton.
