Answer #1

Answer: NeuN (Neuronal Nuclei): It is a neuronal nuclear antigen of approx 46 to 48 kDa weight which is exclusively present in neurons. It is also utilised as a marker of neurons. It is similar to the protein Fox-3/Rbfox3 (a mammalian homologue as Fox-1). Tac-1 and Dlx5/6 (CREB-binding protein) are the promoters only present in neurons. Neurol subtypes express a specific type of transcription factor, enzymes, receptors and cytoskeleton protein. The selection of markers depends on types of study like for immature neuron NeuroD1, TBR1 and Stathmin-1 are the markers, for neural epithelial- SOX2, HES1, HES-3 and E-cadherin are the markers, for mature neurons NeuN, MAP2 Synaptophysin etc. Are the specific markers
