It has various isoforms with Neurofascin-186 and Neurofascin-155 being the most studied. The molecular mass of Neurofascin is approximately 135 kDa. This protein is expressed in the nervous system particularly at nodes of Ranvier and paranodal regions as well as in the initial segment of axons. Neurofascin contributes to organizing and maintaining the axonal domains essential for neural signal transmission.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis neural protein plays an integral role in developing and securing the nervous system's structural organization. Neurofascin helps form the nodes of Ranvier which are critical for saltatory conduction enhancing rapid and efficient nerve impulse transmission. It also interacts with other proteins such as Ankyrin G and Contactin to maintain the stability and function of neuronal domains. Through these interactions Neurofascin facilitates the proper conduction and coordination of electrical signals along neurons.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofascin is essential for neural signal transmission and maintenance pathways. It prominently participates in the axon guidance and myelination pathways working alongside proteins like Caspr (Contactin-associated protein) and Ankyrin B. These pathways ensure the growth and maintenance of myelin sheaths supporting nerve insulation and efficient signal relay. Neurofascin's interaction with these proteins reinforces the nodes of Ranvier's organization promoting stable and rapid signal conduction in the peripheral and central nervous systems.\u003cbr\u003e\nResearch links Neurofascin with autoimmune neuropathies like Guillain-Barré syndrome and multiple sclerosis. These conditions involve the immune-mediated destruction of myelin leading to severe motor and sensory deficits. Neurofascin acts as a target in some autoimmune responses where antibodies may mistakenly attack the protein disrupting neural conduction. Connections between Neurofascin and other proteins like Contactin and Ankyrin G highlight the complex interactions that can lead to pathological states when disrupted. Developing therapies targeting Neurofascin-related pathways holds potential for mitigating these disorders' impacts on neuronal functions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850304901289,"sku":"ab184377","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab184377","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
