The relationship of myelin basic protein (arginine) methyltransferase to myelination in mouse spinal cord

A J Crang et al. J Neurochem. 1982 Jul.

Abstract

The relationship between the activity of myelin basic protein (arginine) methyltransferase and myelination in the mouse spinal cord has been examined. The activity of this methylase increases between 8 and 45 days postnatal age and correlates well with other parameters of myelination. A comparison of myelin basic protein methylase with histone methylase activity during development indicates that each is a distinct, specific enzyme activity. Together, these results are considered to establish myelin based protein methylase as a myelination-related enzyme.
