neurofilament

neurofilament
Member of the class of intermediate filaments found in axons of nerve cells. In vertebrates assembled from three distinct protein subunits (NF-L 68 kD; NF-M 160 kD; NF-H 200 kD) These proteins, if introduced into fibroblasts, will incorporate into the vimentin filament system.
