Basic description
|
Myelin basic protein (MBP)(68-82) induces experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a hydrophilic protein that may function to maintain the correct structure of myelin, interacting with the lipids in the myelin membrane by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the target of many post-translational modifications: it is N-terminally acetylated, methylated on an arginine residue, phosphorylated by various serine/threonine protein-kinases, and deamidated on some glutamine residues.
