Target
- FunctionRequired for brain and eye development. Promotes the disassembly of phosphorylated vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) during mitosis and may play a role in the trafficking and distribution of IF proteins and other cellular factors to daughter cells during progenitor cell division. Required for survival, renewal and mitogen-stimulated proliferation of neural progenitor cells.
- Tissue specificityCNS stem cells.
- Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the intermediate filament family.
- Developmental stageUpon terminal neural differentiation, nestin is down-regulated and replaced by neurofilaments.
- Post-translational
modificationsConstitutively phosphorylated. This increases during mitosis when the cytoplasmic intermediate filament network is reorganized. -

Sections were methanol fixed, permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 prior to blocking in 2.5% BSA for 16 hours at 4°C and then incubated with ab6142, for 1 hour at 37°C. Alexa fluor® 680 goat polyclonal to mouse Ig, diluted 1/1000 was used as the secondary antibody.

Tissue underwent fixation in paraformaldehyde, heat mediated antigen retrieval in Sodium Citrate, permeabilization in 1% Triton buffer and blocking in 10% serum for 1 hour at 25°C. The primary antibody, diluted 1/200 (PBS, 2% Donkey serum, 0.2% Triton) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated donkey polyclonal to mouse Ig, diluted 1/500 was used as the secondary.

Cells were fixed using 4%PFA for 15mins at RT. After x3 PBS rinses over 15mins, cells were blocked/permeabilised using primary Antibody dilution buffer for 15mins befpre application of primary Ab diluted in same buffer. Secondary conjugate was diluted in same buffer, with addition of 1/10K Hoechst, to stain nuclei. After 60mins cells were rinsed x3 over 15mins before coverslipping using Mowiol containing DABCO and azide. -
