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. -

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Nestin antibody (ab92391)Ruma Raha-Chowdhury, University Of Cambridge, United KingdomImmunocytochemical localisation of Nestin using ab92391 on P0 rat retinal culture. The image shows a nestin positive retinal ganglionic cell from P0 retina that has been grown for 7 days on a glass coverslip. Cover slips were fixed in 5% PFA in 0.1M PBS (1xPBS) for 5 minutes and washed with 0.1M PBS. Permeabilisation: 0.3% Triton X-100. Primary antibody ab92391 was diluted 1/250 and incubated for 2h @ RT. Secondary antibody: donkey anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 (1/2000). -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Nestin antibody (ab92391)Ruma Raha-Chowdhury, University Of Cambridge, United KingdomImmunocytochemical localisation of Nestin using ab92391 on E16 rat hippocampal cell culture. The image shows nestin positive rat hippocampal cells isolated from embryonic day 16 (grown in serum free conditions for 2-3 weeks). Cover slips were fixed in 5% PFA in 0.1M PBS (1xPBS) for 5 minutes and washed with 0.1M PBS. Permeabilisation: 0.3% Triton X-100. Primary antibody ab92391 was diluted 1/250 and incubated for 2h @ RT. Secondary antibody: donkey anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 (1/2000). DAPI in blue stains nuclei. -
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Nestin antibody - Neural Stem Cell Marker (ab92391)ICC/IF image of ab92391 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 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 (ab92391, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-Rabbit 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 1.43µM.
