INA (internexin neuronal intermediate filament protein, a) is also called as a-Internexin. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 10q24.33 and the encoded protein colocalizes with the neurofilament (NF) triplet proteins (NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H) in the CNS. It is capable of self-assembly to form homopolymers.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: INA (internexin neuronal intermediate filament protein, a) gene encodes a type-IV neuronal intermediate filament that functions in the morphogenesis of neurons. It is present within the pathological inclusions of NIFID (Neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease) along with heavy, medium, and light neurofilament subunits (NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H). The disease is characterized by frontotemporal dementia, pyramidal, and extrapyramidal signs. a-Internexin serves as a prognostic biomarker for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor aggressiveness.
