Western Blot: alpha-Internexin Antibody (2E3) [NB300-140] - Analysis of different tissue lysates using alpha-Internexin, dilution 1:10000 (Red): [1] protein standard, [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse spinal cord, and [6] cow spinal cord lysate. The antibody reveals the alpha-Internexin protein with an apparent molecular weight of 64-66kDa, with some variability across species.

Immunohistochemistry: alpha-Internexin Antibody (2E3) [NB300-140]

Immunohistochemistry: alpha-Internexin Antibody (2E3) [NB300-140] - Section of rat facial nucleus 7 days following axotomy. These neurons are capable of regenerating their axons and also, concomitant with regeneration, strongly upregulate alpha-Internexin in their perikarya. Other central neurons which are not able to regenerate their axons do not upregulate this protein after axotomy and untreated facial neurons normally show only very low levels of alpha-Internexin. Both findings suggest that alpha-Internexin has a role in axonal regeneration.

Application Notes
This alpha Internexin antibody is useful for Immunohistochemistry paraffin embedded sections, Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence and Western blot. This antibody can be used on formalin-fixed cells in tissue culture and cryostat sections. A 66 kDa band can be seen in Western blotting. The epitope recognized by the 2E3 clone is in the C-terminal non-helical extension of the protein and is unusually resistant to aldehyde fixation, so that this antibody is ideal for studies of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded histological sections.

In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point. Separated by Size-Wes, Sally Sue/Peggy Sue.
The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: alpha-Internexin

In mammalian CNS, five key neuronal intermediate filament (NIF) proteins have been discovered which includes alpha-internexin (66 kD, INA or Inexa), peripherin (57 kD), and three neurofilament (NF) proteins, which are neurofilament light (NF-L, 68 kD), medium (NF-M, 145 kD), and heavy (NF-H, 200 kD). Among NIFs, alpha-internexin is categorized as class IV NIF which is highly expressed in most neurons during development especially when they begin to differentiate and before the expression of NF triplet proteins, and it is structurally/functionally associated with NF triplet proteins inside mature CNS neurons. Peripherin is mainly expressed in PNS and in some CNS neurons also, and alpha-internexin - peripherin self-assemble or co-assemble with neurofilament protein subunits to form filamentous structure before their translocation into the axons to become an essential constituent of shape-maintaining IF network in mature neurons. It has been recognized as one of the many proteins phosphorylated by ATM/ATR in response to DNA damage and has been associated with developmental, degenerative /overexpression causes neuronal cell death, and inflammatory processes of CNS. Abnormal NIF accumulation is a neuropathological signature of several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alpha-internexin has been detected as a major component of pathological inclusions in frontotemporal dementia, also called 'neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease (NIFID).
