Neurofilament protein, Medium Chain (NF-M)

Pab

IgY

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide.

Recombinant protein corresponding to the C-terminal of the NF-M gene product

Human Neurofilament Medium Chain (NF-M) is a 102.448 kD (916 aa) expressed in CNS and PNS neurons. This cytoskeletal protein is normally phosphorylated in vivo, and its extent of phosphorylation correlates with different states of axonal growth and stabilization. These observations have led to the hypothesis that the NF-M protein cross-links adjacent neurofilament strands, and contributes to the structural integrity of the axon.
