Abstract excerpt
A point mutation in exon 3 of the proteolipid protein (PLP) gene of the myelin-deficient (md) rat leads to a failure of oligodendrocyte maturation and early death of oligodendrocytes, resulting in dysmyelination. It has been suggested that an alternative-splice isoform of PLP, known as DM-20, might be expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitors in the embryonic central nervous system (CNS), raising the possibility...
