General description
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is part of the myelin sheath and is a calcium-dependent protein. It has six isoforms and the gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 18q23.
Immunogen
bovine myelin basic protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Myelin basic protein (MBP) associates with calmodulin and has been identified as an auto-antigen in multiple sclerosis (MS). It also inhibits the assembly of amyloid-β protein.
Recognizes amino acids 36-50 of myelin basic protein.
Preparation Note
Generated by somatic cell hybridization of NS0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from an outbred rat immunized with bovine myelin basic protein.
