other info2 :
Reactivity Assumed Based on 100% Sequence Homology: Chicken, human, mouse. Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in bovine, chicken, human, mouse and rat tissues. Biological Significance: Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H (1). NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68kDa. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Mutations in the protein coding region of the human NF-L gene cause some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (2).

ncbi summary :
Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
uniprot summary :
Function: Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. Subunit structure: Interacts with ARHGEF28 . By similarity. Interacts with TRIM2 . By similarity. Domain: The extra mass and high charge density that distinguish the neurofilament proteins from all other intermediate filament proteins are due to the tailpiece extensions. This region may form a charged scaffolding structure suitable for interaction with other neuronal components or ions. Post-translational modification: O-glycosylated . By similarity.Phosphorylated in the head and rod regions by the PKC kinase PKN1, leading to the inhibition of polymerization . By similarity.Ubiquitinated in the presence of TRIM2 and UBE2D1 . By similarity. Miscellaneous: NF-L is the most abundant of the three neurofilament proteins and, like the other nonepithelial intermediate filament proteins, it can form homopolymeric 10-nm filaments. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
