Defective neurofilament transport in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a review.

Abstract excerpt

Neurofilament proteins synthesized in the cell body of neurons are assembled and transported into axons, where they influence axon radial growth, axonal transport, and nerve conduction velocities. In diseased states, neurofilaments accumulate in cell bodies and proximal axons of affected neurons, and these lesions are characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis...
