Term Information

Accession: GO:0005882
Name: intermediate filament
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: intermediate filament associated protein, type I intermediate filament associated protein, type II intermediate filament associated protein
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A cytoskeletal structure that forms a distinct elongated structure, characteristically 10 nm in diameter, that occurs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Intermediate filaments form a fibrous system, composed of chemically heterogeneous subunits and involved in mechanically integrating the various components of the cytoplasmic space. Intermediate filaments may be divided into five chemically distinct classes: Type I, acidic keratins; Type II, basic keratins; Type III, including desmin, vimentin and others; Type IV, neurofilaments and related filaments; and Type V, lamins.
