Neurofilaments are type IV intermediate filament heteropolymers composed of light, medium, and heavy chains.;Neurofilaments comprise the axoskeleton and they functionally maintain the neuronal caliber. They may also play a role;in intracellular transport to axons and dendrites. This gene encodes the light chain neurofilament protein. Mutations;in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease types 1F (CMT1F) and 2E (CMT2E), disorders of the peripheral nervous;system that are characterized by distinct neuropathies. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome Y.
