| Preferred Name | intermediate filament |
| Definitions |
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.
