Intermediate Filaments (IFs) are part of a cells cytoskeleton along with Microfilaments and Microtubules. Intermediate Filaments are intermediate in size compared to MFs and MTs. They are also more durable and stable than the others. They are mainly used in cellular adhesion and other specialized functions in cells.

∙ 9y ago- Perhaps the most important function of intermediate filaments is to provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane where it comes into contact with other cells or with the extracellular matrix. Unlike microfilaments and microtubules, intermediate filaments do not participate in cell motility.
