The CNS Myelin Proteome: Deep Profile and Persistence After Post-mortem Delay
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Myelin membranes are dominated by lipids while the complexity of their protein composition has long been considered to be low. However, numerous additional myelin proteins have been identified since.

White matter integrity in mice requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue
Nature Communications, 2022 Myelin is formed of proteins of long half-lives. The mechanisms of renewal of such a stable structure are unclear. Here, the authors show that myelin integrity requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue, contributing to the maintenance of a

Enzymic methylation of myelin basic protein in myelin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1991 Myelin fractions with different degrees of compaction were isolated from bovine brain, and post-translational methylation of membrane-associated proteins was studied. When the purified myelin-basic-protein-specific protein methylase I and S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-14C]methionine were added exogenously, the most compact myelin fraction exhibited higher ...

Structure of myelin P2 protein from equine spinal cord [PDF]
, 2005 Equine P2 protein has been isolated from horse spinal cord and its structure determined to 2.1 Å. Since equine myelin is a viable alternative to bovine tissue for large-scale preparations, characterization of the proteins from equine spinal cord ...

A space-fractional cable equation for the propagation of action potentials in myelinated neurons [PDF]
Emerging Science Journal, Vol. 4, No. 3: 148-164, 2020, 2020 Myelinated neurons are characterized by the presence of myelin, a multilaminated wrapping around the axons formed by specialized neuroglial cells. Myelin acts as an electrical insulator and therefore, in myelinated neurons, the action potentials do not propagate within the axons but happen only at the nodes of Ranvier which are gaps in the axonal ...

Very large G protein-coupled receptor 1 regulates myelin-associated glycoprotein via Gαs/Gαq-mediated protein kinases A/C. [PDF]
, 2013 VLGR1 (very large G protein-coupled receptor 1), also known as MASS1 (monogenic audiogenic seizure susceptible 1), is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor that contains a large extracellular N terminus with 35 calcium-binding domains.

A Myelin Proteolipid Protein-LacZ Fusion Protein Is Developmentally Regulated and Targeted to the Myelin Membrane in Transgenic Mice [PDF]
, 1993 Transgenic mice were generated with a fusion gene carrying a portion of the murine myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, including the first intron, fused to the E. coli LacZ gene.

Peripheral myelin protein-22 is expressed in CNS myelin [PDF]
Translational Neuroscience, 2010 Abstract Myelin abnormalities exist in schizophrenia leading to the hypothesis that oligodendrocyte dysfunction plays a role in the pathophysiology of the disease. The expression of the mRNA for the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP-22) is decreased in schizophrenia and recent genetic evidence suggests a link between PMP-22 and ...
