RNA binding fox-1 homolog 3 (RBFOX3), commonly known as NeuN, is a neuron-specific nuclear protein widely used as a marker for mature neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. NeuN Antibody / RBFOX3 Neuronal Nuclear Marker (clone AO-18) is designed as a reference reagent for detecting neuronal populations in a variety of experimental contexts. NeuN antibody, also referred to as RBFOX3 antibody or neuronal nuclei marker antibody in the literature, is extensively used in studies of neurodevelopment, neuroanatomy, and neurological disease.
RBFOX3 belongs to the FOX family of RNA-binding proteins, which regulate alternative splicing of pre-mRNA transcripts. Through this function, NeuN plays an important role in neuronal gene expression programs and maintenance of neuronal identity. Its expression is largely restricted to post-mitotic neurons, making it a reliable marker for distinguishing mature neurons from glial cells and other non-neuronal cell types.
NeuN is predominantly localized to the nucleus, although cytoplasmic staining may also be observed depending on cell type and physiological conditions. In immunohistochemistry, NeuN labeling typically appears as strong nuclear staining in neuronal cell bodies, providing clear visualization of neuronal distribution within brain and spinal cord tissues. This staining pattern is widely used for quantifying neuronal density and assessing neurodegeneration or injury.
In addition to its role in normal neurobiology, altered NeuN expression has been reported in various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Loss or reduction of NeuN staining is often used as an indicator of neuronal damage or cell death in experimental models.
Western blot analysis of RBFOX3 typically detects a band in the range of approximately 45-50 kDa, consistent with its predicted molecular weight, supporting its identification in biochemical assays. Immunofluorescence further confirms its nuclear localization in neuronal cells, making it a versatile marker across multiple assay platforms.
The recombinant rabbit monoclonal clone AO-18 antibody provides reliable detection of RBFOX3 in research applications. Its consistent performance in immunohistochemistry, western blot, and immunofluorescence makes it well suited as an anchor antibody for studies of neuronal identity, neural tissue architecture, and neurobiological processes.
This antibody is part of a broader antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the NeuN Antibody / RBFOX3 Neuronal Nuclear Marker should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide from human NeuN was used as the immunogen for the NeuN antibody.
After reconstitution, the NeuN antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
