[Correlation and toxicological significance between myelin protein zero and peripheral nerve disease].

Abstract

Myelin protein zero (P0) is the major structural element of peripheral myelin that plays a very important role in maintaining the stability of myelin. Recently, many researches find that the structure, distribution and function of P0 have transcended people's early understanding. In this review, the basic features of structure, distribution and function of P0 and its current research advances in neurotoxicology are simply summarized.
