0 a substance containing a lot of fat that covers nerves to protect them, and helps them to send signals -- mielina
How these membrane domains evolve during myelin formation is unknown.
This evidence indicates that this pathway has an essential role in early myelination events, and possibly in maintenance of myelin.
Individual sections were stained for cell body (cresyl violet) and myelin.
They also stained more intensely for myelin basic protein, implying that greater myelin content made the columns visible in dark field.
These observations show that correct targeting and transport of the major myelin proteins are important for survival and myelination of oligodendrocytes.
Each segment of axon wrapped by a compact portion of the myelin sheath corresponds to an internode.
Finally, we detected two proteins that had not been shown previously to be present in myelin sheaths.
Therefore, we have confirmed and expanded the compact myelin proteomic database by using a different methodological approach.
