Description

General description

Monclonal Anti-Neurofilament 68 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is produced by the fusion mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Neurofilaments are composed of three sub-units- light NFL protein, medium NFM protein, heavy NFH protein. Along with there two other intermediate filaments are present α-internexin and peripherin. Neurofilaments are phosphoproteins. The neurofilaments are one of the five major groups of IFs and are found predominantly in cells or tissues of neuronal origin. They are composed of three major proteins of apparent molecular weights 68 kD, 95kD, and 115kD. Neurofilament proteins are synthesized in the neuronal perikarya, assembled to form filaments and then slowly transported within the axons towards the synaptic terminals.

Specificity

The antibody reacts specifically with neurofilament 68 in cultured cells or tissue preparations originating from human, pig, rat or chicken. It does not cross react with other intermediate filament proteins.

Immunogen

pig spinal cord.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Neurofilament 68 antibody has been used:

• in immunohistochemistry
• in immunoblotting
• in western blotting

Mouse Monoclonal clone NR4 anti-Neurofilament 68 antibody may be used for the localization of the neurofilament of molecular weight equal to 68,000 while being non-reactive with other intermediate filament proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurofilaments undergo post-translational modification, which results in their heterogeneity, including different levels of phosphorylation. The phosphorylation of neurofilament polypeptides has been suggested to modulate their function by influencing the interaction between neurofilament and cytoplasmic organelles. Neurofilaments play a role in axonal calibre as they help in movement of an impulse down the axon. Their activity depends on phosphorylation of neurofilaments.Mutations of neurofilaments causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. Accumulation of neurofilaments has been observed in many human neurological diseases like Alzheimer′s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, diabetic neuropathy, and giant axonal neuropathy.
