yelin is a multi-lamellar membrane that is uniquely found in the nervous system. When myelin sheaths are not properly formed or are destroyed as a result of acquired or inherited diseases, the end result is a disruption of the normal propagation of electrical impulses down the nerves resulting in se
The myelin-associated glycoprotein, a minor component of myelin in the central and peripheral nervous system, has been implicated in the formation and maintenance of myelin. Although the analysis of MAG null mutants confirms this view, the phenotype of this mutant is surprisingly subtle. In the CNS
The myelin sheath wraps large axons in both the CNS and the PNS, and is a key determinant of efficient axonal function and health. Myelin is targeted in a series of diseases, notably multiple sclerosis (MS). In MS, demyelination is associated with progressive axonal damage, which determines the leve
