NF-H Polyclonal Antibody, Invitrogen™

Description

This antibody reacts primarily with the phosphorylated axonal form of NF-H and shows some cross-reactivity with phosphorylated NF-M, which has similar phosphorylation sites to NF-H.

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).
