… The proteins that compose the intermediate filaments vary depending on the cell type, and are thought to be related to the specificity of each cell's structure and function. Epithelial cells have cytokeratin, mesenchymal cells and other cells have vimentin, muscle cells have desmin, nerve cells have neurofilament protein, and glial cells have glial cell-specific filament protein, which form the intermediate filaments of each cell type. The mesh structure of the intermediate filaments first forms a cage-like structure that surrounds the nucleus, and on the other hand, forms a mesh structure that runs like a hook from the attachment point on the cell membrane to the attachment point on the distant cell membrane. …
