Scientific Data Images for Human NF-M Antibody

Western Blot Shows Human NF-M Antibody Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western Blot Shows Human NF‑M Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and NF-M knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human NF-M Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3029) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for NF-M at approximately 155 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: NF-M

Human NF-M (neurofilament-medium length) is a 145‑150 kDa phosphorylated glycoprotein that belongs to the type IV intermediate filament family. It is 915 amino acids in length and contains a 100 amino acid (aa) N-terminal globular region, a 320 aa alpha-helical rod, or central region, and a 500 aa globular tail. The rod region contains a series of heptad repeats that contribute to a coiled-coil interaction with an adjacent NF-M molecule, the first step in intermediate filament oligomerization. The C-terminus shows phosphorylation and O-linked glycosylation. Human NF-M aa 2‑358, which includes most of the rod region, shares ~98% aa sequence identity with corresponding region of mouse, rat and canine NF-M.
