Untitled[edit]

Synemin and paranemin are also IF proteins [1], but I don't know where they fit into the type classification. --dsws 11:15, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Now I've got too much text before the table of contents. Maybe I'll reorganize it this afternoon. Or maybe someone else will. --dsws 13:34, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the term "in-register" should be defined somewhere, and linked from this page (and hyphenated I think). Unfortunately I was unable to find a published definition anywhere online. --And4e (talk) 19:09, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cytoplasmic[edit]

The statement that intermediate filaments are "cytoplasmic" includes a link to "Cytoplasm", but that doesn't explain how the adjective "cytoplasmic" is being used in that instance. Does it mean that intermediate filaments are found or made within cells, but outside the nuclei or other organelles? Unfree (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The tetramere is considerered to be the basic building block of the intermediate filament, not the dimer. see here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=mcb&part=A5543#5546 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.152.19.3 (talk) 15:41, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changed rating to "high" as this is high school/SAT biology content as part of cytoskeleton. - tameeria 22:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
