Biological Significance
Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H (1). NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68kDa. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Mutations in the protein coding region of the human NF-L gene cause some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (2).

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-NEFL antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

UniProt Comments for NEFL

Function: Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber.

Subunit structure: Interacts with ARHGEF28

By similarity. Interacts with TRIM2

By similarity.

Domain: The extra mass and high charge density that distinguish the neurofilament proteins from all other intermediate filament proteins are due to the tailpiece extensions. This region may form a charged scaffolding structure suitable for interaction with other neuronal components or ions.

Post-translational modification: O-glycosylated

By similarity.Phosphorylated in the head and rod regions by the PKC kinase PKN1, leading to the inhibition of polymerization

By similarity. Ref.4Ubiquitinated in the presence of TRIM2 and UBE2D1

By similarity.

Miscellaneous: NF-L is the most abundant of the three neurofilament proteins and, like the other nonepithelial intermediate filament proteins, it can form homopolymeric 10-nm filaments.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.

Mass spectrometry: Molecular mass is 62600 Da from positions 2 - 555. Determined by MALDI. Ref.4
