Myelin basic protein

Myelin basic proteins or MBP is a group of seven proteins produced from a single gene, and are found in the central and peripheral nervous system.[1] The gene encoding myelin basic protein is also referred to as MBP.[2]
Function[edit | edit source]
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is responsible for adhesion of the cytosolic surfaces of multilayered compact myelin,[3] and MBP levels in cerebral spinal fluid are considered as a marker of active demyelination.[4][2]
