Background:

Peripherin is a type III intermediate filament protein that is expressed in peripheral and some central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Peripherin activation is known to be induced by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). LIF activates Peripherin by inducing members of STAT transcription factor family to bind to a specific promoter element in the Peripherin gene. IL-6 is also known to induce Peripherin expression. Although it is not essential for neurite formation, peripherin is necessary for cellular intermediate filament network formation. Peripherin, unlike most intermediate filament proteins, has been reported to be modified by tyrosine phosphorylation

Specificity:

PRPH (S454) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Peripherin protein.
