Species | Human |
Tag | His |
Expression Systems | Baculovirus-Insect cells |
Keywords | In vitro diagnostic proteins |
Synonyms | Neurofilament heavy polypeptide |
Background | Neurofilaments (NF) are classed as type IV intermediate filaments found in the cytoplasm of neurons. Together with microtubules and microfilaments, they form the neuronal cytoskeleton. Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: NFL, NFM, and NFH which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. Neurofilament light (NfL) is a scaffolding protein that is located primarily within myelinated axons and that provides increased conduction speed and structural support. In recent years, NfL has been used as a disease biomarker on the basis of the observation that axonal injury results in elevated levels of NfL in cerebrospinal fluid or blood. |

SWISS | P12036-1 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight | 114.5 kDa |
Formulation | Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4 with trehalose as protectant. |
Reconstitution | Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions. For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA. |
Molecular Characterization | This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein migrates as 160-230 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation. |
Endotoxin | Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Storage | For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower. Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is stable after storage at: -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
