Scientific BackgroundPeripherin is a class-III neuronal intermediate filament protein found in certain classes of neuron, most of which are located in the peripheral nervous system.
Western blot of whole rat brain stem homogenate stained with Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Peripherin R-1401-50 at dilution of 1:20,000. A prominent band running with an apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of ~57 kDa corresponds to Peripherin. A lower band at ~48 kDa is derived from the Peripherin molecule.
Left: Mixed neuron/glia cultures from newborn rat brain stained with rabbit antibody to peripherin (green) by Immunocytochemistry. Cells were co-stained with chicken antibody to phosphorylated NF-H (C-1386-50, red). A class of large neurons, like the one at the top right of this image, contain peripherin, while the majority of neurons and their processes contain NF-H and not peripherin. Blue: Nuclear stain. Right: Western blot analysis of tissue and cell lysates using rabbit antibody to peripherin (green, 1:10,000). [1] protein standard, [2] rat spinal cord, [3] mouse spinal cord, [4] pig spinal cord, [5] cow spinal cord, [6] SH-SY5Y cells and [7] PC12 cells. The major band at about 57 kDa corresponds to the peripherin protein.
