Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally. Involved with LARP6 in the stabilization of type I collagen mRNAs for CO1A1 and CO1A2.WB Isaacs, J. Biol. Chem., Oct 1989; 264: 17953 - 17960. Patric Turowski, Mol. Biol. Cell, Jun 1999; 10: 1997.
