Myelin Basic Protein (MBP, GDB, Golli MBP, Hemopoietic MBP, HMBPR, HUGO, MGC99675, Myelin Deficient, MLD, Myelin A1 Protein, Myelin Membrane Encephalitogenic Protein, Shiverer, SHI, SP)
Description:
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is an intracellular protein with highly flexible structure found in myelin of central and peripheral nervous system (CNS, PNS). The classic group of MBP isoforms (isoforms 4-14) with PLP is the major protein components of the myelin membrane in CNS and functions in its formation and stabilization. The non-classic group of MBP isoforms (isoforms 1-3/Golli-MBPs) has been implicated in early developing brain long before myelination, possible components of transcriptional complexes, and possible role in T-cells and neural cells signaling pathways. MBP is often post-translationally modified in various ways, which includes citrullination, N-terminal acylation, deamidation, and phosphorylation (1). Surface charge reduction of citrullinated and/or methylated MBP has been linked in weakening the myelin membrane, which can lead to demyelinating diseases such as chronical multiple sclerosis (MS) (2).
