Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity and toxic substance binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Acts upstream of or within axo-dendritic transport; cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of axon diameter. Located in several cellular components, including neurofilament; neuromuscular junction; and postsynaptic density. Is active in postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton and presynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and urogenital ridge. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human NEFM (neurofilament medium chain).
