Vinculin belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family. It is an actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein which involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Vinculin regulates cell-surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. It may also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion. Vinculin is a 117-kDa,1,066-amino-acid protein which is ubiquitously expressed. Its splice variant,metavinculin (124 kDa),is muscle-specific.
A synthesized peptide derived from human Vinculin, corresponding to a region within N-terminal amino acids.
A synthetic peptide from human Vinculin
A synthesized peptide derived from human VIP, corresponding to a region within the internal amino acids.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glucagon family. It stimulates myocardial contractility, causes vasodilation, increases glycogenolysis, lowers arterial blood pressure and relaxes the smooth muscle of trachea, stomach and gall bladder. The protein also acts as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antifungal activity. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
