It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Neurofilament H with 1.41 pg\/mL sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofilament H, also known as 200 kDa Neurofilament Protein, together with Neurofilament L and M are three intermediate filament proteins of neurofilaments. Neurofilament H is involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber and may play a role in intracellular transport. Neurofilament H is used as a neuronal damage biomarker and mutations to the gene have been associated with susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The human Neurofilament H amino acids sequence is 75% identical to mouse and rat Neurofilament H sequence.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofilament heavy polypeptide often referred to as NF-H or neurofilament heavy chain plays an important role in the structural integrity of neurons. This protein is a critical component of the cytoskeleton in neurons consisting of an approximate molecular mass of 200 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in the neuronal axons where it contributes to the assembly and stability of neurofilament structures. NF-H is essential for maintaining axonal diameter and for proper conduction of electrical impulses along nerve fibers.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis polypeptide participates in the formation of neurofilament a complex structure that includes other neurofilament proteins like the neurofilament light (NF-L) and neurofilament medium (NF-M). These proteins form a stable scaffold within the axon aiding in neuronal growth and repair. The phosphorylation of NF-H modulates its interactions within the neurofilament network influencing axonal transport processes and dynamics which are vital for neuron function and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofilament heavy polypeptide is integral to the axonal transport pathway important in conveying molecules between the neuronal cell body and the synaptic terminals. Through its interactions with microtubules and motor proteins NF-H facilitates the movement of organelles and neurotransmitters. It has significant associations with proteins involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system reflecting its role in maintaining neuronal homeostasis and proteostasis essential in neuronal development and function.\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofilament heavy polypeptide serves as an important biomarker for neurodegenerative disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. NF-H especially in phosphorylated form accumulates in conditions of axonal injury or degeneration. It often interacts with tau protein in Alzheimer's pathology forming neurofibrillary tangles. Elevated levels of NF-H in cerebrospinal fluid or blood can indicate neuronal damage offering insights into disease progression and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843589132457,"sku":"ab272199","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab272199","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
