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
