MYRF is a membrane-associated transcription factor that autoproteolytically cleaves to directly activate myelin genes.

The myelination of axons is a crucial step during vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) development, allowing for rapid and energy efficient saltatory conduction of nerve impulses.
