Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4747
Gene name Neurofilament light chain
Gene symbol NEFL
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CMT1FCMT2ECMTDIGNF-LNF68NFLPPP1R110
Chromosome 8
Chromosome location 8p21.2
Summary 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
