MSH: An intermediate filament protein found in most differentiating cells, in cells grown in tissue culture, and in certain fully differentiated cells. Its insolubility suggests that it serves a structural function in the cytoplasm. MW 52,000.,CSP: principle structural glycoprotein of intermediate filaments in muscle, neuroglia, and other nonepithelial cell types.,NCI: Human vimentin protein (465 aa, ~53.5 kDa) is encoded by the human vimentin (VIM) gene. This phosphoprotein is a structural protein belonging to the intermediate filament family and is highly expressed in fibroblasts.
