General Information
Term neurofilament ID (Ontology) GO:0005883 (Gene Ontology)
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.[ ISBN:0198506732 ISBN:0716731363 ISBN:0815316194 ]
Also Known As "type IV intermediate filament"
