Most of the mutations within the PLP gene result in degeneration of oligodendrocytes and this is believed to be caused by intracellular trafficking defects. Previous studies have demonstrated that cells expressing the wild type PLP gene release a factor promoting differentiation/survival of oligodendrocyte and that this factor is the C-terminal portion of the protein itself. In this study we asked how the...
