Related Product Information for anti-Nefm antibody

Neurofilaments (NFs) are prominent components of large myelinated axons. Based on sequence homology and intron placement, the NF genes have been classified as type IV IFs along with alpha-internexin, which is also expressed in the nervous system. NFs may function as effector proteins subject to a complex regulatory cross-talk between neurons and myelinating Schwann cells or oligrodendrocytes. Mammalian neurofilaments are assembled from light (NF-L), mid-sized (NF-M), and heavy (NF-H) neurofilament proteins. NF-M is required if myelinated axons are to achieve maximal diameters and NF-M has been shown to regulate the level of NF-L. NF-M subunits mainly regulate axonal caliber by altering the level of NF-L and in turn the number of NFs in the axon. Results seem to explain as a perturbation of NF stoichiometry in which overexpression of NF-M leads to the formation of perikaryal NF inclusions in motor neurons and the depletion of NFs from axons. Overexpression of NF-M in combination with NF-L increased radial growth of axons, which suggests that NF-M or NF-H must coassemble into filaments with NF-L before they can affect the radial growth of axons. The immature form of NFs composed of NF-L and NF-M, might function in establishing the early neuronal phenotype and in maintaining neurite outgrowth.

Uniprot Description

NFM: a neurofilament intermediate filament protein. Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. The levels of phosphorylation are altered developmentally and coincident with a change in the neurofilament function.
