Anti-Protein Zero, Myelin (MPZ)

Myelin protein-zero is the major structural protein of peripheral myelin.Hayasaka et al. (1993) stated that the MPZ gene contains 6 exons.You et al. (1991) found that the Mpz gene in the mouse, like that in the rat, contains 6 exons that span about 7 kb of genomic DNA.Myelin protein-zero is the major structural protein of peripheral myelin, accounting for more than 50% of the protein present in the sheath of peripheral nerves. Expression of the MPZ gene is restricted to Schwann cells, MPZ is not found in the CNS. An integral membrane glycoprotein of 28 kD, MPZ is thought to link adjacent lamellae and thereby stabilize the myelin assembly. The other 3 major components of myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin proteolipid protein (PLP1), and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG).
