title: Organization and expression of the vimentin gene.
abstract: The primary structure of hamster vimentin has been derived from the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding cDNA. The elucidation of the amino acid sequence allowed the prediction of a model in which two helix domains occur. The N-terminal and C-terminal part have been characterized as nonhelical domains. Moreover the two helices are separated by a third nonhelical region.
