A point mutation in the gene for proteolipid protein (PLP) has been suggested to account for the dysmyelination seen in the jimpy mouse mutant, Despite the absence of PLP, the major integral membrane protein of central nervous system (CNS) myelin, this study shows that there are many scattered myeli

The expression of myelin proteins in actively myelinating quaking and control brains was studied. RNA was extracted from the brains of 18- and 27-day-old mice and analyzed by northern blot using cDNA probes for proteolipid protein (PLP), basic protein (BP), and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG).
A full-length clone for the human proteolipid protein (PLP) was isolated from a cDNA library constructed from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from fetal spinal cords obtained at 15-24 weeks of conceptional age. The sequence of the human PLP cDNA was determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence was found to
Brain slices obtained from young rats were incubated with different radioactive precursors, in the presence and absence of L-cycloserine (an inhibitor of the synthesis of sphingosine) in order to explore the possibility that transport of proteolipids-and specifically of the major myelin proteolipid
## Abstract The proteolipid protein (PLP) gene (__Plp__) encodes the major myelin proteins, PLP and DM20. Expression of __Plp__ occurs predominantly in oligodendrocytes, but evidence is accumulating that this gene is also expressed in neurons. In earlier studies, we demonstrated that myelinβdeficie
