Neurofilament-dependent Radial Growth of Motor Axons and Axonal Organization of Neurofilaments Does Not Require the Neurofilament Heavy Subunit (NF-H) or Its Phosphorylation

Neurofilaments are essential for establishment and maintenance of axonal diameter of large myelinated axons, a property that determines the velocity of electrical signal conduction. One prominent model for how neurofilaments specify axonal growth is that the 660–amino acid, heavily phosphorylated ta...
