Description
Product Characteristics: MOG, MGC26137, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, DAQB-92E24.2, MOGIG-2, MOG Ig-AluB, MOG alpha-6
Target Information: The product of this gene is a membrane protein expressed on the oligodendrocyte cell surface and the outermost surface of myelin sheaths. Due to this localization, it is a primary target antigen involved in immune-mediated demyelination. This protein may be involved in completion and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
