(Neurofilament heavy polypeptide (UniProt: P12036; also known as NF-H, 200 kDa neurofilament protein, Neurofilament triplet H protein) is encoded by the NEFH (also known as KIAA0845, NFH) gene (Gene ID: 4744) in human. Neurofilaments (~ 10 nm in diameter) are intermediate filaments that serve as major elements of the cytoskeleton supporting the axon cytoplasm. They are the most abundant fibrillar components of the axon, being on average 3-10 times more frequent than axonal microtubules. They are built from three intertwined protofibrils, which are themselves composed of two tetrameric protofilament complexes of monomeric proteins. The neurofilament triplet proteins (68/70, 160, and 200 kDa) occur in both the central and peripheral nervous system and are usually neuron specific. The 68/70 kDa NF-L protein can self-assemble into a filamentous structure, however the 160 kDa NF-M and 200 kDa NF-H proteins require the presence of the 68/70 kDa NF-L protein to co-assemble. Antibodies to NF-H are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. NF-H antibodies are helpful in the identification of neurofilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer′s disease. Although typically restricted to neurons, neurofilaments have been detected in paragangliomas and adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung are also known to express neurofilaments. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin.
