The genesis of vertebrate nervous systems begins when the dorsal mesoderm of the gastmla induces the overlying ectoderm to form the neural plate. The plate folds to become the neuial tube and the neural crest cells (NCCs; a migratory population of embryonic stem cells, which are generated at the am). Pluripotent NCCs penetrate the ba~ l lamina, proliferate during migration to appropriate sites in the body, and terminally differentiate into neural and glial cell types. NCCs ultimately differentiate into myelin Schwann cells (mSCs) if they receive the appropriate molecular cue from closely associated axons.These stimuli are transduced to the Schwann cell (SC) nucleus and result in the differential expression of a number of genes that might alter the SC phenotype. To date, three transcription factors have been implicated in the establishment of the mSC phenotype: PAX3, a paired-domaincontaining protein; KROX20, a zincfinger protein; and SCIP, a POU homeodomain protein.
