Gene Symbol | MOG |
Entrez Gene ID | 4340 |
Full Name | myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein |
Synonyms | BTN6,BTNL11,MOGIG2,NRCLP7 |

Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
Genome | |
Summary | 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]. |
