Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells.
They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H.
Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin.
Antibodies to the various neurofilament subunits are very useful cell type markers since the proteins are quite abundant, biochemically stable.
This antibody was raised against the C-terminal region of NF-M, a region highly conserved between NF-M molecules in different species.
Accordingly the antibody recognizes all mammalian and avian NF-M molecules.
The name NF-M refers to the fact that this is the "middle" or "medium" protein of neurofilament triplet, the other two proteins being "low" or "light" (NF-L) and "high" or "heavy" (NF-H).
NF-M is sometimes also referred to as NEF3 or Neurofilament 3.
The HGNC name for this protein is NEFM.
