NENF Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
NENF antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the carboxy terminus of human NENF. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of NENF.
NENF antibody can be used for detection of NENF by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight of ~20 kDa, NENF is observed at 37 kDa in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in rat samples and Immunofluorescence in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

NENF Antibody: NENF is a secreted protein that is expressed in neurons but not glial cells of the brain. This protein has neurotrophic activity in primary cultured mouse neurons but not mitogenic activity in primary cultured mouse astrocytes. NENF activated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) and phosphotidylinositol-3 kinase pathways and could be inhibited by pertussis toxin but not receptor tyrosine kinases, suggesting that NENF acts through a Gi/Go-protein-coupled receptor.
