Rabbit anti Bovine Neurofilament H 200 kDa antibody recognizes bovine intermediate 200 kDa Neurofilament H (NFH), a 1026 amino acid ~200 kDa protein involved in the maintenence of neuronal integrity.
Neurofilaments are a major component of the cellular cytoskeleton, acting as the most abundant support for the axon cytoplasm. They exist as three neurofilament proteins: 68/70 kDa (NFL) 160 kDa (NFM) and 200 kDa (NFH), which are expressed in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Although typically expressed by neurons, neurofilaments are also expressed by neuroblastomas, neuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuromas, and ganglioneuroblastomas, as well as paragangliomas, carcinoids, skin neuroendocrine carcinomas, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung (Lehto et al. 1983).
Defects in NFH are responsible for susceptibility to the neurodegenerative disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which affects upper and lower motor neurons, and results in fatal paralysis (Mendonça et al. 2005).

- 1This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections. Sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for this purpose.
Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
- Histology Positive Control Tissue
- Bovine or rat cerebellum
- Western Blotting
- AHP2259GA detects a band of approximately 200kDa in bovine cerebellum tissue lysates.
