Entrez Gene summary for VIM:
This gene encodes a member of the intermediate filament family. Intermediate filamentents, along with microtubules and
actin microfilaments, make up the cytoskeleton. The protein encoded by this gene is responsible for maintaining cell
shape, integrity of the cytoplasm, and stabilizing cytoskeletal interactions. It is also involved in the immune
response, and controls the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from a lysosome to the site
of esterification. It functions as an organizer of a number of critical proteins involved in attachment, migration,
and cell signaling. Mutations in this gene causes a dominant, pulverulent cataract

Entrez Gene summary for FN1:
        This gene encodes fibronectin, a glycoprotein present in a soluble dimeric form in plasma, and in a dimeric or

multimeric form at the cell surface and in extracellular matrix. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion and
migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense, and metastasis.
