Neurofilament (NF) Assembly; Divergent Characteristics of Human and Rodent NF-L Subunits

Previous studies have shown that rodent neurofilaments (NF) are obligate heteropolymers requiring NF-L plus either NF-M or NF-H for filament formation. We have assessed the competence of human NF-L and NF-M to assemble and find that unlike rat NF-L, human NF-L is capable of self-assembly. However, h...
