Normal dendritic arborization in spinal motoneurons requires neurofilament subunit L.

Abstract excerpt

Neurofilaments, composed of three polypeptide subunits, NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H, are major cytoskeletal elements in large neurons with long axons. Neurofilaments play a critical role in the development of axonal diameter; however, their role in the development of dendrites is largely unknown. By overexpressing different neurofilament subunits, we previously demonstrated that alteration of neurofilament subunit...
