Background of Vinculin
Vinculin is a cytoskeletal protein associated with cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions, where it is thought to function as one of several interacting proteins involved in anchoring F-actin to the membrane. Defects in VCL are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1W. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

From what I have seen in literature endothelial cell does express VCL. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, VCL is expressed in myometrium, endothelial cell, retina, prostate, fetal brain cortex, uterus, platelet, cervix carcinoma, cervix carcinoma erythroleukemia, liver, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have VCL expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:

Question
Does anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody PA1781 work on goat IHC with cervix carcinoma?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-09-04
Answer
Our lab technicians have not validated anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody PA1781 on goat. You can run a BLAST between goat and the immunogen sequence of anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody PA1781 to see if they may cross-react. If the sequence homology is close, then you can perform a pilot test. Keep in mind that since we have not validated goat samples, this use of the antibody is not covered by our guarantee. However we have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in goat cervix carcinoma in IHC, you can get your next antibody for free.

Question
Does PA1781 anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
E. Bhatt
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-05-07
Answer
It shows on the product datasheet, PA1781 anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody as been tested on IHC. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question
My question regarding product PA1781, anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
D. Roberts
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-02-24
Answer
We do not advise storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PA1781 anti-Vinculin/VCL antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.
