Myelin: Delivery by raft.
Recent results suggest that membrane proteins are delivered to the myelin sheath of an oligodendrocyte on rafts with a distinctive lipid composition. The major intrinsic membrane protein of myelin, proteolipid protein, interacts with rafts in oligodendrocytes but not with the different rafts found in other cell types.
