Anti-phospho-MBP Antibody, clone P12

产品说明

一般描述

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the major extrinsic membrane protein of central nervous system and has a molecular mass of 21.5 kDa. MBP is believed to be important in the process of myelination of nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). MBP was initially sequenced in 1979 after isolation from myelin membranes. Since that time, knockout mice deficient in MBP have been developed which showed decreased amounts of CNS myelination and a progressive disorder characterized by tremors, seizures, and early death. The gene for MBP is on chromosome 18; the protein localizes to the CNS and to various cells of the hematopoietic system.
The pool of MBP in the central nervous system is very diverse, with several splice variants being expressed and a large number of post-translational modifications on the protein, which include phosphorylation, methylation, deamidation and citrullination. MBP phosphorylation at Threonine 125 is a complex regulatory process that modulates the contribution of MBP to the stability of the Myelin sheath.
Interest in MBP has centered on its role in demyelinating diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis (MS). Several studies have shown a role for antibodies against MBP in the pathogenesis of MS. Some studies have linked a genetic predisposition to MS to the MBP gene, though a majority have not.

特异性

Recognizes MBP phosphorylated at Threonine 98; Some preparations of MBP contain basal levels of phosphorylated MBP, which are detected by the pMBP antibody.
