Background Information

Nestin, also named as NES and Nbla00170, is a class VI intermediate filament protein expressed in stem cells of the central nervous system (CNS) but not in mature CNS cells. Its expression is used extensively as a marker for neural lineage cells derived from human embryonic stem (hES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Nestin is also expressed in non-neural stem cell populations such as pancreatic islet progenitors and hematopoietic progenitors. Nestin can be detected as 220-240 kDa and 240-280 kDa. Studies point toward nestin heavy posttranslational modifications as possibly serving particular functions in podocytes and in a few other particular cell types(PMID: 17210924).
