phosphatidylethanolamines Metabolite chebi:16038
Cholesterol 27% Metabolite chebi:16113
Phosphatidylserine 4,8% Metabolite chebi:18303
Cerebrosides 22,7% Metabolite chebi:23079 Even though there are no absolute myelin-specific lipids, cerebroside, also known as galactosylceramide, is the most typical of myelin. The concentration of cerebroside in brain is directly proportional to the amount of myelin present. Cerebroside is not required for myelin formation but plays an important role in its insulating capacity and stability.

MBP Protein uniprot:A8MZH3 The classic group of MBP isoforms are the most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. They have a role in both its formation and stabilization. MBP: myelin basic protein.

MAG Protein uniprot:P20916 Adhesion molecule that mediates interactions between myelinating cells and neurons by binding to neuronal sialic acid-containing gangliosides and to the glycoproteins RTN4R and RTN4RL2 (By similarity). Not required for initial myelination, but seems to play a role in the maintenance of normal axon myelination. MAG: myelin associated glycoprotein.
PLP1 Protein uniprot:P60201 This is the major myelin protein from the central nervous system. It plays an important role in the formation or maintenance of the multilamellar structure of myelin.
CNPase Protein uniprot:P09543 May participate in RNA metabolism in the myelinating cell, CNP is the third most abundant protein in central nervous system myelin. CNPase: 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'phosphodiesterase.
