| myelin | <anatomy, neurology, pathology> The material making up the myelin sheath of nerve axons. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myelin basic protein | <protein> Major component of the myelin sheath in mammalian CNS. Used as an antigen will induce a allergic encephalitis, possibly a model for some neurodegenerative disorders. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myelin basic protein kinase | <enzyme> Protein from pig brain activates ATP-mg-dependent protein phosphatase; a protein tau kinase; a multisubstrate kinase; in texts written as f subscript a Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: protein phosphatase activator fa, glycogen synthase kinase 3, protein kinase f(a), gsk-3, gsk-3alpha, kinase f(a), gsk-3beta, mds1 gene product, p63(samk), src-activated mbp kinase, p63(mapk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| myelin basic proteins | A group of 7 proteins produced from a single gene by alternate splicing found in central and peripheral nervous system myelin. The major basic protein (mbp) has long been of interest because it is the antigen, that, when injected into an animal, elicits a cellular immune response that produces the CNS autoimmune disease called experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (encephalomyelitis, allergic). In the peripheral nervous system, myelin basic protein 18.5 kD is often referred to as the p1 protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myelin body | <cell biology> Structure that can form spontaneously when bilayer forming phospholipids (e.g. Egg lecithin) are added to water. They are reminiscent of the concentric layer structure of myelin. (18 Nov 1997) |
