Vim - vimentin

Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein phosphatase 2A binding activity. Involved in several processes, including decidualization; positive regulation of glial cell proliferation; and response to vitamin D. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Biomarker of Chagas disease; cerebral infarction; hyperthyroidism; nephrosis; and pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atherosclerosis; autoimmune disease (multiple); and cataract 30. Orthologous to human VIM (vimentin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
