- Background
- Neurofilaments are composed of 3 neuron-specific proteins with apparent molecular masses of 68 kD (NFL), 125 kD (NFM), and 200 kD (NFH) on SDS-gel electrophoresis. Genomic clones for the largest human neurofilament protein (NF-H) were isolated, the intron/exon boundaries mapped and the entire protein-coding regions (exons) sequenced. mutations in neurofilaments have been linked to some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT).

- Purification
- Ascites
- Concentration
- Adding 1 ml of PBS buffer will yield a concentration of 100 μg/ml.
- Form
- Lyophilized
- Reconstitution
- Add 1ml of PBS buffer will yield a concentration of 100ug/ml.
- Function
- Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. NF-H has an important function in mature axons that is not subserved by the two smaller NF proteins.
- Components
- Mouse ascites fluid, 1.2% sodium acetate, 2mg BSA, with 0.01mg NaN3 as preservative.
