Neurofilaments (NF) are intermediate filaments found in the cytoplasm of neurons. They are protein polymers measuring approximately 10 nm in diameter and many micrometers in length. Together with microtubules and microfilaments, they form the neuronal cytoskeleton. They are believed to function primarily to provide structural support for axons and to regulate axon diameter, which influences nerve conduction velocity. The proteins that form neurofilaments are members of the intermediate filament protein family, which is divided into 6 classes based on their gene organization and protein structure. Class I and II are the keratins which are expressed in epithelia. Class III contains the proteins vimentin, desmin, peripherin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Note that the neuronal intermediate filament protein peripherin, which was named by Portier and colleagues in 1983, should not be confused with another protein of the same name (also known as peripherin-2 or peripherin-2/rds) that is expressed in the retina. Class IV consists of the neurofilament proteins L, M, H and internexin. Class V consists of the nuclear lamins, and Class VI consists of the protein nestin. The class IV intermediate filament genes all share two unique introns not found in other intermediate filament gene sequences, suggesting a common evolutionary origin from one primitive class IV gene. The term neurofibril is an antiquated term that refers to the fibrous appearance of bundles of neurofilaments in nerve cells when observed in histologically stained tissue sections. |
