Members of the intermediate filament protein family exhibit complex patterns of development-specific and tissue-specific expression. Studies exploring the mechanisms of gene regulation are underway and key regulatory factors are currently being described and isolated for certain genes encoding intermediate filament proteins. Selected systems from this diverse group of about 50 genes will be discussed.
