Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells.
They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H.
Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin.
Alpha-internexin is a ~66kD Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes.
Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H.
In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed.
Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture.
In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.
