Gene Symbol NEFL
Gene Full Name neurofilament, light polypeptide
Background 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]
Function Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. [UniProt]
Research Area Controls and Markers antibody; Developmental Biology antibody; Neuroscience antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody; Neuronal Cytoskeletal antibody; Neurofilament antibody; Intermediate Neurofilament antibody
Calculated MW 62 kDa
PTM O-glycosylated.
Phosphorylated in the head and rod regions by the PKC kinase PKN1, leading to the inhibition of polymerization.
Ubiquitinated in the presence of TRIM2 and UBE2D1.

    Immunocytochemistry: Mixed neuron / glia cultures from newborn Rat brain stained with monoclonal 7C5 to peripherin (green) and co-stained with ARG10732 anti-Neurofilament NF-L antibody (red). A class of large neurons, like the one in the middle of this image, contains peripherin, while the majority of neurons and their processes contain NF-L and not peripherin. Interestingly, the peripherin positive cells often contain a cytoplasmic inclusion next to the nucleus which stains for both peripherin and NF-L, and so appears golden in this image. The blue channel reveals the localization of DNA.

  • ARG10732 anti-Neurofilament NF-L antibody IHC-Fr image

    Immunohistochemistry: Frozen section of Mouse cerebellum stained with ARG10732 anti-Neurofilament NF-L antibody (red) at 1:5000 dilution and costained with ARG52344 anti-Myelin Basic Protein antibody (green) at 1:5000 dilution. (Sample preparation: Following transcardial perfusion of Mouse with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 µM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibodies.)

    The NF-L antibody labels dendrites and axons of neuronal cells, and Myelin Basic Protein antibody stains myelin sheathes around axons.
