Function

Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: NEFL, NEFM, and NEFH which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. May additionally cooperate with the neuronal intermediate filament proteins PRPH and INA to form neuronal filamentous networks (By similarity).

Notes

NEFL Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify NEFL in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:

  • Sandwich ELISA
  • FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
  • Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
  • Bead-based assays
  • AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
  • DELFIA® immunoassays
  • Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
  • Multiplex

Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:

  • Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
  • Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.

We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.

Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.

Please note:

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.

The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.

We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Activity summary

NEFL also known as neurofilament light polypeptide is a component of the cytoskeleton of neurons. It is one of the subunits of neurofilaments which also include medium and heavy chains. NEFL has a molecular mass of about 61.5 kDa. The protein is predominantly expressed in neurons throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems providing structural support and regulating axon diameter.

Biological function summary

Neurofilament light polypeptide forms heteropolymers with other neurofilament proteins contributing to the assembly of stable neurofilament fibers. These fibers maintain neuronal integrity and proper conductance velocities of nerve signals. NEFL interacts closely with neurofilament medium and heavy chains playing a role in the structural framework of the neuron. This enables efficient transmission of electrical impulses along axons.

Pathways

NEFL plays a significant role in the neurofilament pathway which is critical for neuronal cytoskeleton assembly and axonal transport. This pathway involves proteins such as NEFM (neurofilament medium) and NEFH (neurofilament heavy). NEFL's involvement in maintaining axonal caliber connects it to important signaling cascades like the axon guidance and neurotransmitter release pathways enhancing neuronal communication.

Associated diseases and disorders

Defects in NEFL can lead to neurological conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mutations or disruptions in NEFL impact axonal transport and neurofilament assembly contributing to neurodegeneration. NEFL is often studied alongside proteins like peripherin which can also exhibit mutations linked to similar neuropathies underlining its importance in neural health.
