Scientific Data Images for NF-H Antibody (9B12)

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (9B12) [NBP1-05210]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (9B12) [NBP1-05210]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (9B12) [NBP1-05210] - Analysis of different tissue lysates using mouse mAb to NF-H, dilution 1:10000 (Green): [1] protein standard, [2] rat spinal cord [3] mouse spinal cord, and [4] cow spinal cord. Strong band at about 200-220kDa corresponds to the major phosphorylated form of the NF-H subunit. Smaller proteolytic fragments of NF-H are also detected in some preparations.

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody (9B12) [NBP1-05210]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody (9B12) [NBP1-05210] - Analysis of a rat brain coronal section of the third ventricle stained with mouse monoclonal antibody to phosphorylated NF-H, dilution 1:5,000 (Green). Hoechst staining of nuclear DNA (Blue). Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24hrs, cut to 45uM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibody. The antibody is a robust marker of the axons of neuronal cells.

Background: NF-H

Neuronal intermediate filaments (NIF) are found specifically on neurons where they play key role in maintaining neuronal morphology as well as in regenerating myelinated axons. NIF contain three subunits: a light polypeptide (NEFL/NFL), a medium polypeptide (NEFM/NFM), and a heavy polypeptide (NEFH/NFH), with molecular weights of 68, 160, and 212 kD respectively. 200kD neurofilament heavy (NEFH) is one of the major components of neuronal cytoskeleton NIF and NEFH gene was originally proposed as a DNA marker for presymptomatic diagnosis in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) . NEHF facilitate interactions between NIF and brain mitochondria with binding efficiency dependent upon mitochondrial membranes potential. NEFH and beta-catenin are constituents in postsynaptic density (PSD) in CNS and NEFH is essential for maintaining normal cell integrity. Diminished NEFH levels are seen in certain cancers including human autonomic nerve tumors or central neurocytomas, prostate cancer, clear-cell epithelioid tumor and small cell lung carcinoma. Fibroblasts overexpressing NEFH are distorted, multinucleated, and possess inclusions, typical changes seen in neuropathies, and defects in NEFH are linked to susceptibility to ALS.
