Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and functionally maintain neuronal caliber. They may also play a role in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the heavy neurofilament protein. This protein is commonly used as a biomarker of neuronal damage and susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been associated with mutations in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins: L, M, and H which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. NF-H has an important function in mature axons that is not subserved by the two smaller NF proteins. |DUF1388| |Filament| |postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton| |peripheral nervous system neuron axonogenesis| |neurofilament bundle assembly| |postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization| |structural constituent of postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton| |neurofibrillary tangle| |intermediate filament bundle assembly| |neurofilament| |neurofilament cytoskeleton organization| |regulation of organelle transport along microtubule| |peripheral nervous system neuron differentiation| |peripheral nervous system neuron development| |postsynaptic cytoskeleton organization| |dynein complex binding| |intermediate filament organization| |regulation of microtubule-based movement| |kinesin binding| |intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization| |intermediate filament-based process| |peripheral nervous system development| |protein binding, bridging| |Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse| |postsynapse organization| |cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor| |response to leukemia inhibitory factor| |structural constituent of cytoskeleton| |regulation of microtubule-based process| |microtubule binding| |postsynaptic density| |synapse organization| |axon| |regulation of intracellular transport| |cytoskeleton| |axonogenesis| |axon development| |cell morphogenesis involved in neuron differentiation| |supramolecular fiber organization| |cell projection assembly| |protein kinase binding| |microtubule cytoskeleton organization| |neuron projection morphogenesis| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection morphogenesis| |cell projection morphogenesis| |cell part morphogenesis| |cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |neuron projection development| |microtubule-based process| |cell morphogenesis| |neuron development| |cellular component morphogenesis| |regulation of cellular localization| |regulation of cellular component movement| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |neuron differentiation| |response to cytokine| |cytoskeleton organization| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |cell projection organization| |generation of neurons| |neurogenesis| |cell development| |regulation of transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found. ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:h:hgc6.3|HGC6.3]]|0.597| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 14083 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: -2.28 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
