Intermediate Filament Polymerization

Intermediate Filament Polymerization is a structural biosynthesis process in which monomeric intermediate filament proteins assemble progressively into heteropolymeric filaments through coiled-coil dimer formation, longitudinal association, and lateral compaction, thereby establishing a stable cytoskeletal network distinct from actin microfilaments and microtubules.
