| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the neurons of the outer hair cells in the organ of Corti and to a lesser extent in type I spiral ganglion cells. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated.phosphorylation increases after nerve injury in regenerating neurons. |
| Function | Class-III neuronal intermediate filament protein. May form an independent structural network without the involvement of other neurofilaments or may cooperate with the neuronal intermediate filament proteins NEFL, NEFH, NEFM and INA to form a filamentous network. Assembly of the neuronal intermediate filaments may be regulated by RAB7A. Plays a role in the development of unmyelinated sensory neurons. May be involved in axon elongation and axon regeneration after injury. Inhibits neurite extension in type II spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea. |
