Description
Predicted to have structural molecule activity. Involved in hindbrain development; negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and spinal cord development. Predicted to localize to neurofilament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (multiple); amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and invasive ductal carcinoma. Is expressed in nervous system. Orthologous to human NEFL (neurofilament light).
