Protein Zero, Myelin (MPZ) Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

myelin P0: a structural protein in peripheral nervous system Schwann cells. Forms an extracellular membrane face which guides the wrapping process and ultimately compacts adjacent lamellae. Defects cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Dejerine-Sottas syndrome, congenital hypomyelination neuropathy, and Roussy-Levy syndrome.

Protein type: Adaptor/scaffold; Membrane protein, integral

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q23.3

Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; myelin sheath

Molecular Function: structural molecule activity

Biological Process: synaptic transmission; intercellular junction maintenance

Disease: Neuropathy, Congenital Hypomyelinating Or Amyelinating, Autosomal Recessive; Charcot-marie-tooth Disease, Demyelinating, Type 1b; Hypertrophic Neuropathy Of Dejerine-sottas; Charcot-marie-tooth Disease, Dominant Intermediate D; Charcot-marie-tooth Disease, Axonal, Type 2j; Charcot-marie-tooth Disease, Axonal, Type 2i; Roussy-levy Hereditary Areflexic Dystasia
