This analysis revealed 122 proteins in the compact myelin fraction.
Recently, more insights into the sorting and trafficking mechanism of particular myelin proteins in their compartment are emerging.
Furthermore, these differences may indicate an alternate regulatory mechanism of myelin expression.
This included genes involved in myelination, such as myelin basic protein.
The loss of myelin manifests with a variety of motor deficits, depending on the site of the damage.
Therefore, we have confirmed and expanded the compact myelin proteomic database by using a different methodological approach.
Finally, we detected two proteins that had not been shown previously to be present in myelin sheaths.
Each segment of axon wrapped by a compact portion of the myelin sheath corresponds to an internode.
