Overview of myelin, major myelin lipids, and myelin-associated proteins
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 Myelin is a modified cell membrane that forms a multilayer sheath around the axon. It retains the main characteristics of biological membranes, such as lipid bilayer, but differs from them in several important respects. In this review, we focus on aspects of myelin composition that are peculiar to this structure and differentiate it from the more ...

Myelin lipid metabolism and its role in myelination and myelin maintenance
The Innovation, 2023 Myelin is a specialized cell membrane indispensable for rapid nerve conduction. The high abundance of membrane lipids is one of myelin's salient features that contribute to its unique role as an insulator that electrically isolates nerve fibers across their myelinated surface.

Current Biology, 2016 Myelin is a key evolutionary acquisition that underlay the development of the large, complex nervous systems of all hinged-jaw vertebrates. By promoting rapid, efficient nerve conduction, myelination also made possible the development of the large body size of these vertebrates.

Redox Biology, 2021 Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a ferroxidase enzyme that is essential for cell iron efflux and has been postulated to have a neuroprotective role. During the myelination process, oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) express high levels of Cp, but the ...

Lanthionine Ketimine Ethyl Ester Accelerates Remyelination in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
ASN Neuro, 2022 Although over 20 disease modifying therapies are approved to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS), these do not increase remyelination of demyelinated axons or mitigate axon damage.

Proteome Profile of Myelin in the Zebrafish Brain
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The velocity of nerve conduction along vertebrate axons depends on their ensheathment with myelin. Myelin membranes comprise specialized proteins well characterized in mice.
