Clone 1D4 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Peripherin. It targets an epitope within 17 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Peripherin.

Anti-Peripherin, clone 1D4 ZooMAb , Cat. No. ZRB1174, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Peripherin and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Peripherin in mouse spinal cord tissue lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Peripherin in human esophagus and rat spinal cord tissue sections.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Peripherin in PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user as specimens and experimental conditions may vary.

Peripherin (UniProt: P41219; also known as Neurofilament 4) is encoded by the PRPH (also known as NEF4, PRPH1) gene (Gene ID: 5630) in human. Peripherin is a member of the intermediate filament family. It is classified as a class-III neuronal intermediate filament protein that is expressed mainly in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. It is also found in neurons of the central nervous system that have projections toward peripheral structures, such as spinal motor neurons. Its expression is also reported in certain neuroendocrine tumors. Peripherin is shown to coexist with the neurofilament triplet proteins (neurofilament light, medium, and heavy chain). PRPH gene expression is reported to be the highest in late embryonic and early postnatal brain and declines somewhat before expression of triplet protein sharply rises. A possible peripherin involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis has been suggested based on studies with transgenic mice that display over-expression and with a toxic splicing variant of the gene. Two isoforms of peripherin have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
