bsm-70169M

DATASHEET

Host: Mouse

Target Protein: Neurofilament NF-H

Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~200 kDa Neurofilament H protein. It recognizes phosphorylated NF-H KSP (lysine-serine-proline) type sequences. In some species there is some cross-reactivity with the related phosphorylated KSP sequences found in the related neurofilament subunit NF-M. It recognizes neurofilaments in frozen sections in tissue culture and in formalin fixed sections.

Clonality: Monoclonal

Isotype: IgG1

Entrez Gene: 4744

Swiss Prot: P12036

Source: Purified bovine NF-H

Purification: Purified by Protein G.

Storage Buffer: PBS + 10 mM NaN3.

Storage: Recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) upon arrival and stored long term at -20° C or -80° C, while keeping a working aliq

Background:

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-H is the neurofilament high or heavy molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 200-220 kDa, with some variability across species boundaries. Antibodies to NF-H are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. NF-H antibodies can also be useful to visualize neurofilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) (2) and Alzheimer's disease (3).
