| Mouse Nestin is an approximately 207kD protein (1864aa) expressed in neural crest cells, CNS neural stems cells, as well as a few non-neural cell types in the embryo, including cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and the limb bud. Nestin is an intermediate filament-associated protein, and contributes to the cytoskeleton. |

| Immunogen | Three synthetic peptides corresponding to different regions of the mouse Nestin (NP_057910) (KLH). Species Sequence Homology: rat (NM_012987, NCBI). |
| Specificity | Recognizes mouse Nestin. Note that the sequences of the mouse and human Nestin genes are divergent, and it is unlikely that antibodies raised against the mouse sequence would recognize human Nestin. |
