    motifs/domains
  • globular head
  • a central coiled-coil rod region
  • a C terminal globular tail O-glycosylated and synchronously regulated in axons of neurons and containing the repeated motif KSP(XKSPYK), and C-terminal domains do not normally regulate neurofilament (NF) transport rates as previously proposed, but instead increase the proteolytic resistance of NF, thereby stabilizing the stationary neurofilament cytoskeleton along axons
    • mono polymer polymer
