NF-H: Proteins and Enzymes

Neurofilaments are intermediate filaments that are major components of the neuronal cytoskeleton. Neurofilaments are composed of three subunits: the heavy subunit (NF-H), medium subunit (NF-M), and light subunit (NF-L). Neurofilaments are trimers that always contain the 68 kDa NF-L and variably contain 125 kDa NF-M and 200 kDa NF-H. The human neurofilament heavy chain is a phosphorylated cytoskeletal intermediate filament protein that is expressed in neurons. The neurofilament medium subunit ...
