NF200 IHC Antibody

Description 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).
