GO term:neurofilament
Synonym: type IV intermediate filament
GO id:GO:0005883
Definition:A type of intermediate filament found in the core of neuronal axons. Neurofilaments are heteropolymers composed of three type IV polypeptides: NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H (for low, middle, and high molecular weight). Neurofilaments are responsible for the radial growth of an axon and determine axonal diameter.
Number of paths to term: 40
