16 янв. 2024 г. · Intermediate filaments are components of the cytoskeleton. Their main function is to withstand mechanical stress, mainly stretching.

1 июн. 2020 г. · Although intermediate filaments (IFs) are biochemically and immunologically suggested to exist in plant cells, there are few molecular genetic ...

It is now apparent that plants possess intermediate filament (IF) antigens that exist either as cytoplasmic fibrillar bundles (FBs) or in a finer form, ...

Thus we demonstrated that keratin intermediate filaments exist in the cytoplasm of higher plants. We also found no obvious tissue or species specificity in the ...

Intermediate filaments have a diameter of about 10 nm, which is intermediate between the diameters of the two other principal elements of the cytoskeleton, ...

6 мар. 2024 г. · The primary function of intermediate filaments is to create cell cohesion and prevent the acute fracture of epithelial cell sheets under tension ...

Intermediate filaments appear as solid, ropelike fibrils from 8 to 12 nm in diameter that may be many micrometers long (Lee and Cleveland, 1996).

Three different types of linear proteinaceous polymers comprise the cytoskeleton in animal cells: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are thicker than microfilaments and thinner than microtubules. They are approximately 10 nm in diameter and many microns long.

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are cytoskeletal structural components found in the cells of vertebrates, and many invertebrates. Structure · Biomechanical properties · Types · Function
