Neurofilament Antibody (-Medium) / NF-M / NEFM

Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains. Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. The NEFM gene encodes the medium neurofilament protein. This protein is commonly used as a biomarker of neuronal damage.
