Abstract
Within the group of plasma membranes, isolated and studied until now, the myelin membrane has a typical characteristically low protein content of 20 percent (3,15,18) and a protein composition of reduced complexity. By work on isolated cerebral myelin, the encephalitogenic basic protein was directly shown to be a myelin protein (17, 18). Autilio (2) applied gel filtration in chloroformmethanol and obtained a further myelin protein fraction comprising 55 to 65 percent of total myelin proteins. This protein fraction had an amino acid composition almost identical to the classical Folch-Lees proteolipid protein (13) which was extracted from cerebral white matter and subjected to a purification step.KeywordsMyelin Basic ProteinBasic ProteinMyelin ProteinCerebral White MatterProteolipid ProteinThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
