Biochem/physiol Actions

eripherin has been linked with axonal extension and regeneration of nerve fibers. It also has a role in neurite outgrowth propagation. Peripherin is a substrate of protein kinase B/Akt. Phosphorylation of this protein is induced after nerve injury.

Peripherin is upregulated during pheochromocytoma PC12 cell differentiation. Later studies have detected peripherin also in certain central nervous system (CNS) neurons.

General description

Peripherin is an intermediate filament protein. It is expressed in peripheral and enteric neurons. The gene encoding this protein is localized on rat chromosome 7.

Monoclonal Anti-Peripherin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the 8G2 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with the full-length recombinant rat peripherin. Peripherin was originally identified as a neuronal intermediate filament protein-(IF) is thought to be expressed only in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Immunogen
