Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. A structural constituent of postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Involved in intermediate filament bundle assembly; postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; neuron projection development; and regulation of axonogenesis. Located in axon and neurofilament. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; cholinergic synapse; and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; limb; and peripheral nervous system ganglion. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (multiple); amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and invasive ductal carcinoma. Orthologous to human NEFL (neurofilament light chain).
