Severe hypomyelination of the murine CNS in the absence of myelin-associated glycoprotein and fyn tyrosine kinase.

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of mice deficient in the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) or Fyn, a nonreceptor-type tyrosine kinase proposed to act as a signaling molecule downstream of MAG, has revealed that both molecules are involved in the initiation of myelination. To obtain more insights into the role of the MAG-Fyn signaling pathway during initiation of myelination and formation of morphologically intact myelin sheaths,...
