What Does NFP Stand For?

NFP stands for Neurofilament Protein

NFP, or Neurofilament Protein, refers to a key structural protein found in neurons that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the neuronal cytoskeleton. It is an important biomarker for various neurodegenerative diseases, as its levels can indicate neuronal damage and disease progression. NFP is involved in maintaining axonal diameter, supporting intracellular transport, and facilitating neuron-to-neuron communication, making it essential for proper neurological function.
