Summary: A structural constituent of postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Involved in axon development and postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; cytoskeleton organization; and peripheral nervous system neuron axonogenesis. Located in axon; neurofilament; and postsynaptic density. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and postsynaptic intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2CC; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1; and monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance. Orthologous to human NEFH (neurofilament heavy chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
