Many facets of the peripheral myelin protein PMP22 in myelination and disease.

Abstract excerpt

Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a small, hydrophobic glycoprotein, which is most prominently expressed by Schwann cells as a component of compact myelin of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Recent progress in molecular genetics revealed that mutations affecting the PMP22 gene including duplications, deletions, and point mutations are responsible for the most common forms of hereditary peripheral...
