Neural Marker Antibody Products

Neurons are the primary structural and functional components of the nervous system, featuring four distinct morphological components: the cell body (soma), dendrites, an axon, and presynaptic terminals. The soma is the core of cell metabolism and contains the nucleus and other organelles containing the cell's DNA. Dendrites are receivers of incoming signals. Axons generate outgoing signals. Presynaptic terminals, which contain vesicles containing neurotransmitters, are found at the ends of each axon branch. Neuronal cells are highly polarized and collect information from upstream neurons or the environment via dendritic branches, while axons send integrated information to downstream neurons or non-neuronal cells (such as muscles) via synapses.

Studying nerve cells with various functions is a vital first step in understanding how the neurological system operates. Researchers can easily identify neurons with distinct roles using antibodies targeting these neuronal markers. Additionally, researchers can:

Examine the morphology and phenotype of neurons
Evaluating co-localization of proteins
Displaying synaptic connections visually
Quantify the expression of proteins
Determine the state of cell development

Glial Cell Markers

Aside from the neurons that make up the central or peripheral nervous system, there is another type of non-neuronal cell called glial cells that offer structural and metabolic support to neurons. Glial cells consist of:

Astrocyte

Oligodendrocyte

Microglia

Neuroepithelial

Radial Glial

Schwann Cell
