Table 1. Known myelin proteins in the myelin proteome.

Proteins mass-spectrometrically identified in peripheral myelin are compiled according to availability of prior references as myelin proteins. Given are the official gene name, one selected reference, the number of transmembrane domains (TMD) and the mRNA abundance profile cluster (see Figure 3).
