Basic Proteins of Central and Peripheral Nervous System Myelin

  • Chapter
Advances in Neurochemistry

Abstract

Studies on the ultrastructure and physiological function of myelin have generally been with peripheral nervous system (PNS) tissue, while chemical studies on the composition of myelin have more often used central nervous system (CNS) tissue. In addition, because of immunological studies on multiple sclerosis, there has been a rapid growth in knowledge of some of the proteins of CNS myelin.
