– Required for brain and eye development. Promotes the disassembly of phosphorylated vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) during mitosis and may play a role in the trafficking and distribution of IF proteins and other cellular factors to daughter cells during progenitor cell division. Required for survival, renewal and mitogen-stimulated proliferation of neural progenitor cells. Nestin/NES Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 27.8 kDa and the accession number is P48681.
