Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
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

UniProt ID P07196
Protein name Neurofilament light polypeptide (NF-L) (68 kDa neurofilament protein) (Neurofilament triplet L protein)
Protein function Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: NEFL, NEFM, and NEFH which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. May additionally cooperate with the neuronal intermediate filament proteins PRPH and INA to form
