Neuroscience letters - 20 Jul 1992

DeWille J W, Farmer S J

Abstract excerpt

Although lipids compose almost 80% of myelin, the influence of quaking on mRNAs encoding lipid biosynthetic enzymes and transport proteins has not been previously reported. Understanding the influence of quaking on myelin-specific and lipid-related mRNAs will be useful in determining the mechanis...
