Biological Significance
Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H (1). NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68kDa. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Mutations in the protein coding region of the human NF-L gene cause some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (2).
Preparation and Storage
Store at -20 degree C in undiluted aliquots; stable for at least 1 year. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

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

Function: Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber.

Subunit structure: Interacts with ARHGEF28

By similarity. Interacts with TRIM2

By similarity.

Domain: The extra mass and high charge density that distinguish the neurofilament proteins from all other intermediate filament proteins are due to the tailpiece extensions. This region may form a charged scaffolding structure suitable for interaction with other neuronal components or ions.

Post-translational modification: O-glycosylated

By similarity.Phosphorylated in the head and rod regions by the PKC kinase PKN1, leading to the inhibition of polymerization

By similarity.Ubiquitinated in the presence of TRIM2 and UBE2D1

By similarity.

Miscellaneous: NF-L is the most abundant of the three neurofilament proteins and, like the other nonepithelial intermediate filament proteins, it can form homopolymeric 10-nm filaments.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.

Product Notes

The NEFL nefl (Catalog #AAA500007) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Neurofilament L (NF-L) reacts with Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Neurofilament NF-L ms can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF). Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot. WB: 1:1,000 IF: 1:100. 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 "Neurofilament NF-L ms, 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.
