NeuN (RBFOX3) is a protein extensively used as a neuronal marker due to its expression in the nuclei and cytoplasm of neurons. It is vital for the regulation of alternative splicing of pre-mRNA, which is essential for neural development and function. Mutations or dysregulation of RBFOX3 have been associated with various neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, cognitive deficits, and epilepsy, highlighting its importance in maintaining normal brain function.

Shipping conditions update: ambient shipping
This product will be delivered at ambient temperature instead of chilled – this is by design. Extensive stability testing confirmed that our products are suitable for shipment under ambient conditions and maintain expected quality.
Why the change?
It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.
What you need to know
Ambient shipments come clearly marked on the delivery note.
No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

NeuN also known as Fox-3 is a protein often utilized as a neuronal marker due to its expression predominantly in neurons. The molecular weight of NeuN is approximately 46-48 kDa. It is located in the nucleus and in the post-mitotic neurons of the central nervous system. Research frequently uses anti-NeuN antibodies for identifying neuronal cells in various samples capitalizing on its reliable expression profile across diverse neuron types. Common techniques for detecting NeuN include Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) with NeuN staining being a definitive method for confirming neuronal identity.
Biological function summary
NeuN plays a role in RNA splicing specific to neurons contributing to the regulation of gene expression within the nervous system. It does not function as part of a larger protein complex but interacts with chromatin to influence neuronal gene expression. This has implications for neuronal differentiation and maintenance. Techniques like NeuN IHC use antibodies such as Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated variants to visualize neurons in tissue confirming its utility as an accessible and specific neuronal marker in research.
Pathways
NeuN serves an important function in neuronal development and differentiation. It particularly influences neurogenesis and synaptogenesis pathways where neuron-specific splicing and transcriptional regulation are essential. Although NeuN does not directly engage in pathways with other proteins because it operates independently its expression parallels the activity of significant neuronal proteins such as MAP2 and Neurofilaments. These relationships illustrate NeuN's indirect association in pathways promoting neuronal development and maintenance.
NeuN remains significant in studies of neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal damage. For instance decreased NeuN staining has been observed in Alzheimer's disease indicating loss of neuronal identity or survival. Research also notes alterations in NeuN expression following ischemic injury where its presence or absence links to neuronal viability. NeuN's association with these states of neuronal health or pathology highlights its relevance as a marker in neurodegenerative and injury-related disorders. Furthermore while not directly in disease pathways NeuN functionally intersects with proteins like Tau in Alzheimer's suggesting its indirect role in disease pathways.
