Western blot - Anti-Nestin antibody [2C1.3A11] - Neural Stem Cell Marker (AB18102)

Lanes 1 - 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab18102 observed at 300 kDa. Red - loading control, ab176560, observed at 50 kDa.

ab18102 was shown to recognize NES in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in NES knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and NES knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab18102 and ab176560 (Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/5000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

Nestin also known as NES is an intermediate filament protein with a molecular weight of about 220 kDa. Nestin features prominently in cells related to the nervous system including neural stem cells and it serves as a structural component in these cells. Nestin also appears in substantial amounts during the development of the nervous system and is important for cell structural organization. It is often used as a Nestin marker in research particularly with Nestin antibodies for identifying the presence of neural stem cells and tracking their developmental course. Researchers frequently utilize techniques like Nestin IHC (immunohistochemistry) and Nestin western blot to stain and detect Nestin allowing detailed investigations into its expression in various tissues.
Biological function summary

Nestin plays a significant role in the dynamic remodeling of the cytoskeleton. It does not act as a solitary element but forms part of a larger protein complex involved in maintaining and organizing cellular structure. This property grants cells flexibility in shape and resilience during the rapid changes in development and specialization. The role of Nestin in the cellular architecture allows it to contribute to processes such as cell migration and proliferation critical during tissue development and repair.

Pathways

Nestin integrates into networks that regulate stem cell behavior and neurogenesis. It tightly interacts within the pathways involving cell cycle regulation and differentiation. For example the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways modulate its expression to influence neural stem cell fate and patterning during development. Protein interactions between Nestin and other cytoskeletal elements like vimentin facilitate its roles in these pathways adapting the cellular environment for specific developmental activities.

Nestin associates with various pathological conditions including brain tumors and muscular dystrophies. Its expression is aberrant in many forms of gliomas where it often signifies a higher grade of malignancy. Within these tumors Nestin connects to oncogenic signaling pathways involving proteins such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Moreover in muscular dystrophies Nestin's expression in regenerating muscle fibers illustrates its involvement in cellular repair mechanisms potentially interacting with dystrophin a protein important for muscle integrity. Research on anti-Nestin antibodies continues to clarify its role in these diseases potentially offering diagnostic or therapeutic insights.
