Myelin Basic Protein (MBP, Myelin A1 Protein, Myelin Membrane Encephalitogenic Protein)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Myelin

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.02% sodium azide.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to aa49-62 [DRGAPKRGSGKDSH] of human MBP protein.

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) functions in the nervous system in myelination and is expressed in oligodendrocytes following differentiation. There are numerous isoforms generated by differential splicing events and post-translational modifications that have specialized functions. These functions include participation in signaling pathways prior to myelination, myelination or the re-myelination process following neural injury.
