    Abstract

    Only a few proteins are known to be exclusively expressed in central nervous system (CNS) myelin. A novel surface membrane protein expressed only in CNS myelin and oligodendrocytes of higher vertebrates has been identified by a monoclonal antibody. This CNS myelin/oligodendrocyte-specific protein, MOSP, has a molecular weight of 48 kDa and a pI of approximately 6.7. In the presence of the monoclonal antibody, MOSP remains on the surface of cultured oligodendrocytes but becomes associated with cytoplasmic microtubules. Our results suggest that MOSP plays an important role in membrane/cytoskeleton interactions during the formation and maintenance of CNS myelin. MOSP also may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of diseases of CNS myelin.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
