MBP (Myelin Basic Protein)

MBP belongs to the myelin basic protein family. The classic group of MBP isoforms (isoform 4-isoform 14) are the most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. They have a role in both its formation and stabilization. The smaller isoforms might have an important role in remyelination of denuded axons in multiple sclerosis. The non-classic group of MBP isoforms (isoform 1-isoform 3/Golli-MBPs) may preferentially have a role in the early developing brain long before myelination, maybe as components of transcriptional complexes, and may also be involved in signaling pathways in T-cells and neural cells. This is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the full-length of human MBP, and is capable of recognizing multiple isoforms of MBP.
