PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

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

polymer

HOMOLOGY
