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
    modifications

    There 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.

     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.
