IMF has various meanings in the Science category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of IMF in Science.
Intermediate filament are cytoskeletal components found in metazoan cells. They are composed of a family of related proteins sharing common structural and sequence features. Intermediate filaments have an average diameter of 10 nanometers, which is between that of 7 nm actin, and that of 25 nm microtubules, although they were initially designated 'intermediate' because their average diameter is between those of narrower microfilaments and wider myosin filaments found in muscle cells.
