Plectin-Mediated Intermediate Filament Functions: Why Isoforms Matter

Plectin-Mediated Intermediate Filament Functions: Why Isoforms Matter

This essay focuses on the role of plectin and its various isoforms in mediating intermediate filament (IF) network functions. It is based on previous studies that provided comprehensive evidence for a concept where plectin acts as an IF recruiter, and plectin-mediated IF networking and anchoring are...
