Scientific Data Images for NF-H Antibody (NAP4)

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (NAP4) [NB300-136]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (NAP4) [NB300-136]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody (NAP4) [NB300-136] - Analysis of tissue lysates using mouse mAb to NF-H, NB300-136, dilution 1:10,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse spinal cord, [6] pig spinal cord, [7] cow spinal cord. Strong band at about 200-220 kDa corresponds to the major phosphorylated from of the NF-H subunit. A minor band at about 160 kDa is the non-phosphorylated NF-H. Smaller proteolytic fragments of NF-H are also detected in spinal cord preparations with NB300-136 antibody.

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody (NAP4) [NB300-136]

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody (NAP4) [NB300-136] - Analysis of human cerebellar cortex section stained with mouse mAb to pNF-H, NB300-136, in brown. Paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed tissue sections were stained with this antibody using the avidin biotin conjugate method. The sections was counterstained with Hematoxylin in blue. NB300-136 stains prominent basket cell axons surrounding the large Purkinje neurons. Cerebellar granule cell layer is at the bottom of the image, the molecular layer at the top.

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.
