Background
Background: Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light (L), medium (M), and heavy (H) chains. Neurofilaments are a component of the axon cytoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. Mutations in the Neurofilament-L cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies.
