GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 3160
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Nefm
Name: neurofilament medium chain
Acc ID: GO:0005883
Term: neurofilament
Definition: A type of intermediate filament found in the core of neuronal axons. Neurofilaments are heteropolymers composed of three type IV polypeptides: NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H (for low, middle, and high molecular weight). Neurofilaments are responsible for the radial growth of an axon and determine axonal diameter.
