Target
-
Function
Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the intermediate filament family. -
Post-translational
modificationsThere are a number of repeats of the tripeptide K-S-P, NFM is phosphorylated on a number of the serines in this motif. It is thought that phosphorylation of NFM results in the formation of interfilament cross bridges that are important in the maintenance of axonal caliber.
Phosphorylation seems to play a major role in the functioning of the larger neurofilament polypeptides (NF-M and NF-H), the levels of phosphorylation being altered developmentally and coincidentally with a change in the neurofilament function.
Phosphorylated in the head and rod regions by the PKC kinase PKN1, leading to the inhibition of polymerization. - Information by UniProt

ab7794 Anti-160 kD Neurofilament Medium antibody [NF-09] was shown to specifically react with 160 kD Neurofilament Medium in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266741 (knockout cell lysate ab257103) was used. Wild-type and 160 kD Neurofilament Medium knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab7794 and Anti-GAPDH antibody[EPR16891] - Loading Control (ab181602) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Observed band size: 150 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab7794 observed at 150 kDa. Red - loading control, ab52866, observed at 50 kDa.
ab7794 was shown to specifically react with NEFM (Neurofilament) in wild-type HEK-293 cells as signal was lost in NEFM knockout cells. Wild-type and NEFM knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3% NF Milk. Ab7794 and ab52866 (Rabbit anti alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ICC/IF image of ab7794 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7794, 1æg/ml) overnight at +4øC. The secondary antibody (green)ÿwas Alexa Fluor© 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor© 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43æM.
