MBP (Myelin Basic Protein) Peptides
Overview
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a major structural component of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system, produced by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. MBP maintains the compact multilamellar structure of myelin by interacting with membrane lipids. MBP peptides are essential research tools for studying myelination, demyelinating diseases, and T-cell-mediated autoimmunity.
Key Features
- Major CNS myelin structural protein fragments
- Key autoantigen in multiple sclerosis research
- Phosphorylated and MAPK substrate variants available
