Schwann Cell Marker Related Research Reagents

Schwann cells are nerve fibers that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Their function is equivalent to oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS). They form a myelin sheath around the axon and have multiple functions such as providing structural support, conducting nerve impulses along the axon, removing debris after axon injury, and guiding axon regenerations.

Schwann cells further differentiate into Schwann cell precursors and immature Schwann cells during embryo development. After the premyelination Schwann cell stage, mature myelinated and unmyelinated Schwann cells are formed. Upon peripheral nerve injury, mature Schwann cells at the distal stump will differentiate into immature Schwann cells, and then differentiate into mature myelinated and unmyelinated Schwann cells after nerve regeneration.
