Molecular biology of neuronal intermediate filaments.
In the past few years, several neuronal intermediate filament proteins have been characterized. While ongoing investigations have continued to shed light on their developmental expression, the importance of different domains of the proteins for assembly, the elements in their genes necessary for tissue-specific expression, and the role of phosphorylation of neurofilaments, the function(s) of these structures remain a matter of speculation.
