NEFM
Neurofilament medium polypeptide is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NEFM gene.Function
s are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the exoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the medium neurofilament protein. This protein is commonly used as a biomarker of neuronal damage.
