Drug screening for Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease by quantifying the total levels and membrane localization of PLP1

Background: Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is caused by point mutations or copy number changes in the proteolipid protein 1 gene (PLP1). PLP1 is exclusively localized in the myelin sheath of oligodendrocytes. Amino acid-substituted PLP1 protein is unable to fold properly and is subsequently degr...
