Product Description

This antibody reacts with 200 kDa subunit protein of human neurofilament. It specifically recognizes a nonphosphorylated epitope in the tail domain of NF-H. Dephosphorylation of NF-H will increase immunoreactivity with this antibody. This antibody is suitable for immunohistochemical staining of Bouin's and alcohol-fixed paraffin-embedded or frozen tissue sections. To stain, incubate 30-60 minutes at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber, neurofilaments are the intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Like most other intermediate filament proteins (IFPs), the expression of the different neuronal IFPs is both tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. NF-H has an important role in mature axons and is involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
