Also known as PRPH1
Summary
PRPH (peripherin, HGNC:9461) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.12, encoding Peripherin (P41219). Class-III neuronal intermediate filament protein.
This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein found in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. The encoded protein is a type III intermediate filament protein with homology to other cytoskeletal proteins such as desmin, and is a different protein that the peripherin found in photoreceptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Peripherin — P41219 (reviewed: P41219)
Alternative names: Neurofilament 4
All UniProt accessions (3): P41219, F8W835, H7C5W5
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Class-III neuronal intermediate filament protein. May form an independent structural network without the involvement of other neurofilaments or may cooperate with the neuronal intermediate filament proteins NEFL, NEFH, NEFM and INA to form a filamentous network. Assembly of the neuronal intermediate filaments may be regulated by RAB7A. Plays a role in the development of unmyelinated sensory neurons. May be involved in axon elongation and axon regeneration after injury. Inhibits neurite extension in type II spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea.
Subunit / interactions. Forms homodimers (in vitro). Homopolymerizes into a filamentous network (in vitro). Forms heterodimers with NEFL, NEFM or NEFH (in vitro). Interacts with DST (via C-terminus). Interacts with RAB7A; the interaction is direct. Interacts with PRKCE (via phorbol-ester/DAG-type 2 domain).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell projection. Axon. Perikaryon.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in the neurons of the outer hair cells in the organ of Corti and to a lesser extent in type I spiral ganglion cells.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated; phosphorylation increases after nerve injury in regenerating neurons.
Disease relevance. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) [MIM:105400] A neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease include pallor of the corticospinal tract due to loss of motor neurons, presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions within surviving motor neurons, and deposition of pathologic aggregates. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of the cases. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Gene prediction based on similarity to orthologs.
Similarity. Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
