- PROTOCOLS
- BACKGROUND
| Primary Accession | P25189 |
|---|---|
| Clone Names | 90415110 |
| Gene ID | 4359 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Myelin protein P0, Myelin peripheral protein, MPP, Myelin protein zero, MPZ |
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8621b was selected from the C-term region of human MPZ. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
| Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
| Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | MPZ |
|---|---|
| Function | Is an adhesion molecule necessary for normal myelination in the peripheral nervous system. It mediates adhesion between adjacent myelin wraps and ultimately drives myelin compaction. |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Found only in peripheral nervous system Schwann cells |

Background
MPZ is a major structural protein of peripheral myelin. Creation of an extracellular membrane face which guides the wrapping process and ultimately compacts adjacent lamellae.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
