Peripherin also known as 8G2 or 7C5 is a protein expressed strongly in peripheral and certain central nervous system neurons. The mass of the peripherin protein is approximately 57 kDa. This intermediate filament protein structurally supports neurons aiding in their proper formation maintenance and regeneration. Peripherin localizes to the axons of mature neurons and serves important functions in the neuronal cytoskeleton and its stability.
Biological function summary
Peripherin impacts the nervous system's structure and dynamics. As part of the cytoskeleton it contributes to neurofilament networks which are essential for neuronal shape and mechanical integrity. Peripherin plays a role in neuronal differentiation and apoptosis. It operates independently but occasionally interacts with other cytoskeletal proteins like neurofilament light protein to perform its duties in neuronal cells.
Pathways
Peripherin is involved in processes associated with neuronal development and injury response. It features in neurogenesis pathways where it influences the growth and repair of axons. Peripherin interacts with proteins such as vimentin which helps manage cell dynamics and stress responses. The axonal transport pathway also utilizes peripherin to support axonal transport under stressful conditions ensuring cellular integrity and function.
Peripherin connects strongly to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Its overexpression or aggregation can create abnormal filamentous structures that contribute to motor neuron degeneration. In ALS peripherin may interact with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) proteins known to be significant in the disease pathogenesis. Understanding peripherin’s role in these diseases aids in unraveling mechanisms underlying neuronal degeneration.
