An introduction to the molecular basis of inherited myelin diseases.

Journal of inherited metabolic disease - 1 Jan 1993

Matthieu J M

Abstract excerpt

The myelin sheath is an extension of a plasma membrane tightly wrapped around axons. It facilitates conduction while conserving space and energy. Myelin is characterized by a high lipid content (80% of dry weight). Most myelin proteins are unique to that structure and some of them are restricted to the central or peripheral nervous system. In this review a few examples of inherited metabolic disorders affecting...
