Nefm - neurofilament, medium polypeptide Gene

Also Known as Nfm; NF-M; Nef3; NF160; NF165

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 18040

Summary

Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity and toxic substance binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axo-dendritic transport; Cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of axon diameter. Located in several cellular components, including intermediate filament cytoskeleton; neuromuscular junction; and postsynaptic density. Is active in presynaptic intermediate filament Cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human NEFM (neurofilament medium chain).
