Background： Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene is a member of the intermediate filament family and is involved in the morphogenesis of neurons. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009],

Function：developmental stage:Expressed in brain as early as the 16th week of gestation, and increased rapidly and reached a steady state level by the 18th week of gestation.,function:Class-IV neuronal intermediate filament that is able to self-assemble. It is involved in the morphogenesis of neurons. It may form an independent structural network without the involvement of other neurofilaments or it may cooperate with NF-L to form the filamentous backbone to which NF-M and NF-H attach to form the cross-bridges.,PTM:O-glycosylated.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the intermediate filament family.,tissue specificity:Found predominantly in adult CNS.,

Subcellular Location：extracellular space,nucleoplasm,neurofilament,nuclear membrane,cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule,myelin sheath,intermediate filament cytoskeleton,

Expression：Found predominantly in adult CNS.
