Encoded by Intermediate Filament Genes, diverse Intermediate Filament Proteins (including keratin filaments, neurofilaments, desmin, and vimentin) form polymeric structural cytoplasmic filaments, intermediate in diameter (8-10 nanometer) between actin microfilaments and microtubules, that comprise part of the cytoskeleton of most eukaryotic cells.
