Researchers Study Myelin Protein Mutations and Their Links to Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
Researchers have uncovered how mutations in the peripheral myelin protein P2 — recently linked to the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease — might impact myelin formation to cause the disease. P2 is part of the myelin sheath, where it acts to transfer fatty acids to and from nerve cell membranes…
