| myelin proteins | Proteins found in the myelin sheath. The major proteins of central nervous system myelin include: myelin proteolipid protein, myelin basic proteins, and myelin-associated glycoprotein. The major proteins of peripheral nervous system myelin include: myelin basic proteins (myelin p1 protein and myelin p2 protein), myelin p0 protein, and myelin-associated glycoprotein. (12 Dec 1998) |

| myelin proteolipid protein | A myelin protein that is the major component of the organic solvent extractable lipoprotein complexes of whole brain. It has been the subject of much study because of its unusual physical properties. It remains soluble in chloroform even after essentially all of its bound lipids have been removed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myelin sheath | <anatomy, neurology> An insulating layer surrounding vertebrate peripheral neurons, that dramatically increases the speed of conduction. It is formed by specialised Schwann cells, that can wrap around neurons up to 50 times. The exposed areas are called nodes of Ranvier: they contain very high densities of sodium channels and action potentials jump from one node to the next, without involving the intermediate axon, a process known as saltatory conduction.
