Mouse NF68 Monoclonal Antibody | anti-NEFL antibody
Anti-NF68 antibody (monoclonal)
Background: Neurofilaments are composed of 3 neuron-specific proteins with apparent molecular masses of 68 kD(NFL), 125 kD(NFM) and 200 kD(NFH) on SDS-gel electrophoresis. And they have a role in the maturation of regenerating myelinated axons. Neurofilament 68(NF68), also called Neurofilament Protein, Light Chain(NFL). It is one of the most abundant cytoskeletal components of the neuron. Mutations in this gene were reported as a cause for autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2E(CMT2E) linked to chromosome 8p21. NFL was identified repeatedly in both screenings and found to interact with Myotubularin-related 2 gene, MTMR2 in both Schwann cells and neurons.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
Uniprot Description
NFL: one of the three (L, M, and H) intermediate filament proteins that form neurofilaments. Neurofilaments are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. NF-L is the most abundant of the three neurofilament proteins. Defects cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1F (CMT1F).

Product Notes
The NEFL nefl (Catalog #AAA175041) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-NF68 antibody (monoclonal) reacts with Human, Pig, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's NF68 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NEFL nefl for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NF68, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
