Background
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],
Function
alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,caution:Do not confuse myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) with oligodendrocyte-myelin glycoprotein (OMG).,function:Minor component of the myelin sheath. May be involved in completion and/or maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication.,online information:Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein entry,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. BTN/MOG family.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,subunit:May form homo- or heterodimers between the different isoforms.,tissue specificity:Found exclusively in the CNS, where it is localized on the surface of myelin and oligodendrocyte cytoplasmic membranes.,
