Invitrogen™ Neurofascin Monoclonal Antibody (727030)

Beschreibung

Reconstitute with sterile PBS to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL.

Neurofascin encodes an L1 family immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecule with multiple IGcam and fibronectin domains. The protein functions in neurite outgrowth, neurite fasciculation, and organization of the axon initial segment (AIS) and nodes of Ranvier on axons during early development. Both the AIS and nodes of Ranvier contain high densities of voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels which are clustered by interactions with cytoskeletal and scaffolding proteins including this protein, gliomedin, ankyrin 3 (ankyrin-G), and betaIV spectrin. This protein links the AIS extracellular matrix to the intracellular cytoskeleton. Neurofascin undergoes extensive alternative splicing, and the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.
