Neurofilaments are 10nm intermediate filament proteins located in vertebrate neurons, which regulate axonal diameter. They are composed predominantly of the three major neurofilament proteins: NF-Light, NF-Medium and NF-Heavy. NF-L is the light or low molecular weight polypeptide, and it runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68kDa, with some size variation in across species.
Antibodies to NF-L may be used to identify NF-L in neurons and to study neuronal processes in tissue sections and/or culture. NF-L antibodies can also be used to study microfilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Geri's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
