Abstract excerpt
Substantial biological data indicate that the myelin basic protein (MBP) and myelin proteolipid protein (PLP/DM20) genes produce products with functions beyond that of serving as myelin structural proteins. Much of this evidence comes from studies on naturally-occurring and man-made mutations of these genes in mice and other species. This review focuses upon recent evidence showing the existence of other products...
