Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Myelin Protein P0 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ile30-Arg153 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. |

Synonym | Myelin Protein P0; Myelin Peripheral Protein; MPP; Myelin Protein Zero; MPZ |
Gene Background | Myelin Protein P0 (MPZ) is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein which belongs to the myelin P0 protein family. MPZ contains one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain, absent in the central nervous system. MPZ is a major component of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves. It is postulated that MPZ is a structural element in the formation and stabilisation of peripheral nerve myelin, holding its characteristic coil structure together by the interaction of its positively-charged domain with acidic lipids in the cytoplasmic face of the opposed bilayer, and by interaction between hydrophobic globular of adjacent extracellular domains. Defects in MPZ associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and Dejerine-Sottas disease. |
