Neurofilament Light (NF-L, NF68, NEFL, Neurofilament Light Polypeptide, NFL)

Neurofilaments are composed of three intermediate filament proteins: light (~68kD), medium (~160kD) and heavy (~200kD), which are involved in the maintenance of the neuronal caliber. Neurofilament light (NF68 or NF-L) is the most abundant of the three proteins.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
