ab317599 staining Anti-160 kD Neurofilament Medium in Hek-293T cells, with negative expression in NEFM knockout Hek-293T cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilised with 0.1% Triton x-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab317599 at 1 μg/ml (shown in green). ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488) (shown in magenta) was used at 2 μg/ml for structural counterstaining.

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

This product also works with 100% methanol (5 min) fixation under the same testing conditions.

Negative immunofluorescence staining of 160 kD Neurofilament Medium in a section of frozen mouse normal liver.

The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1X PBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. Performed on a Leica BOND™. The section was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab317599 at 1/100 dilution. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Supplementary information

The 160 kD Neurofilament Medium also known as NEFM NF-M or NEF-M belongs to the family of neurofilament proteins. This protein is an important structural component of neurons particularly in the axonal cytoskeleton. Neurofilament Medium has a molecular mass of around 160 kilodaltons (kD). It shows high levels of expression in neuronal tissues contributing to the maintenance of axonal caliber. Commonly research recognizes it alongside other neurofilament proteins emphasizing its role in providing structural integrity to neurons.
Biological function summary

Neurofilament Medium participates in the formation of a stable network of neurofilaments within neurons. Acting as a part of the intermediate filament protein family it forms a complex with other neurofilaments such as NF-L and NF-H. This complex supports neuron structure and plays an important role in axonal transport. The heteropolymeric nature of neurofilaments contributes to their mechanical stability facilitating essential neuronal functions by aligning neurofilaments along the axon.

Pathways

Neurofilament Medium integrates into the cytoskeletal arrangement pathways that govern axonal transport and stability. It plays a significant role in the neuronal transport pathway associating with other proteins such as dynein and kinesin responsible for the motor functions along axons. Also it relates to the MAP kinase pathway where phosphorylation events modulate its assembly and disassembly dynamics in response to cellular signals.

Neurofilament Medium closely relates to neurodegenerative conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. Aberrant phosphorylation or aggregation of NEFM can disrupt neuronal function leading to pathology. In ALS the abnormal accumulation of neurofilaments correlates with motor neuron degeneration. In Alzheimer's its interaction with tau protein poses significant interest as altered states of either could exacerbate neurofibrillary tangles worsening cognitive decline.

Target data

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).
