Extra Details:: a-Internexin is a Class IV intermediate filament subunit. It is related to but distinct from the better known neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H, having similar protein sequence motifs and a similar intron organization. Many classes of mature neurons contain a-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H, and a-internexin is the major neurofilament protein of developing neurons. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to a-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of a-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage. The use of antibodies to this protein in the study of brain tumors has not been examined to date, but is likely to be of interest. The HGNC name for this protein is INA. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 1:5000 Immunofluorescence (IC): 1:5000 Western Blot: 1:10,000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
