Vimentin is the most common member of intermediate filament protein family. It is a main component of cytoskeleton structure. Its main function is to maintain cell integrity and skeleton stability. It is expressed in mesenchymal cells and mesoderm derived cells. Vimentin is a relatively specific marker of mesenchymal cells and their derived tumors.
