Novel myelin glycoproteins and their possible involvement in demyelination.
Myelin membranes contain numerous glycoproteins, very few of which have been characterized. This article summarizes recent studies which suggest that some of these glycoproteins may be involved in pathological demyelination, by virtue either of their enzymic activity or of their antigenic properties.
