Mature neurons are terminally differentiated and are no longer able to divide. Their purpose is to receive, process, and transfer information in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
NeuN
An RNA binding protein that is highly specific for post-mitotic neurons. However, the following cell types do not express NeuN:
Mouse cerebrum sections stained with anti-NeuN (green) (ab177487).

MAP2
A neuron-specific protein that promotes assembly and stability of the microtubule network.
Mouse cortex tissue stained with anti-MAP2 (green) (ab183830).
160 kDa Neurofilament medium
Major intermediate filament found in neurons.
Human brain tissue stained using anti-160 kDa neurofilament medium (ab68142).
Neurofilament heavy
Major intermediate filament found in neurons.
Mouse hippocampus tissue stained using anti-neurofilament heavy (green) (ab207176).
Synaptophysin
Synaptic vesicle protein that regulates vesicle endocytosis in neurons.
Human iPS cell-derived neurons stained with anti-synaptophysin (green) (ab32127).
PSD95
Synaptic protein that associates with receptors and the cytoskeleton.
Mouse retina tissue stained with anti-PSD95 (green) (ab238135).
