Not all neurons have NFs. Indeed, one entire phylum in the animal kingdom, arthropods, expresses only type V nuclear lamins so arthropod cells have no IF cytoskeletal structures at all. In addition, mature oligodendrocytes lack IFs although their embryonic precursors contain vimentin. Clearly, the IFs are not essential for cell survival. Yet, in large myelinated fibers, NFs make up the bulk of axonal volume and represent a substantial fraction of the total protein in brain. In most organisms, IFs in both glia... [Pg.129]

As mentioned previously, myelination is carried out by highly specialized glial cells, oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS. These cells differentiate from precursor cells of different origin during development the neural crest for Schwann cells, and neural tube for oligodendrocytes. Myelin characteristics differ morphologically in the CNS and in the PNS, and differ also inside the CNS. Thus... [Pg.541]
