NF-H Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

This antibody reacts primarily with the phosphorylated axonal form of NF-H and shows some cross-reactivity with phosphorylated NF-M, which has similar phosphorylation sites to NF-H.

Like most other intermediate filament proteins (IFPs), the expression of the different neuronal IFPs is both tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. The neurofilament (NF) triplet proteins (∽70, 160, and 200 kDa) occur in both the central and peripheral nervous system and are normally restricted to neurons. The 70 kDa NF-protein can self-assemble into a filamentous structure, whereas the 160 kDa and 200 kDa NF-proteins require the presence of the 70 kDa NF-protein to co-assemble.
