Peripherin Antibody (8G2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Peripherin in mouse, rat, and human samples through western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-Peripherin antibody (8G2) is available in a non-conjugated form, allowing for versatile applications in research. Peripherin is a type III intermediate filament protein that plays a crucial role in the structural integrity of peripheral and certain central nervous system neurons. Expression of Peripherin is notably influenced by cytokines such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which activate Peripherin by promoting the binding of Stat transcription factors to specific promoter elements within the Peripherin gene. While Peripherin is not essential for the initial formation of neurites, Peripherin plays a vital role in establishing a robust cellular intermediate filament network, which is important for maintaining neuronal shape and resilience under stress. Peripherin undergoes post-translational modifications, particularly tyrosine phosphorylation, which can affect function and interactions with other proteins, highlighting a dynamic role in neuronal health and signaling pathways.
