IHC staining of Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-Myelin Basic Protein antibody (clone P82H9) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R. (Cat. No.928602), the tissue was incubated with 5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst, and the slide was mounted with ProLong™ Gold Antifade Mountant. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale Bar: 50 µm

Description

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a protein involved in the myelination of nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). MBP functions to maintain the correct structure of myelin, through its interaction with the lipids in the myelin membrane. The myelin sheath is made up of MBP and lipids, and acts as an insulator to increase the velocity of axonal impulse conduction. MBP plays a central role in the demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis (MS). A hallmark of the disease is the loss of the myelin sheath surrounding nerves, thought to be induced by antibodies against MBP.

Antigen Details

Structure
Myelin Basic Protein is a 304 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 33kD.
Distribution

Tissue distribution: Central and peripheral nervous systems
Cellular distribution: Cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, cytosol, and extracellular

Function
Classic MBP isoforms (4-14) are the most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. They play a role in both its formation and stabilization. The non-classic isoforms may have a role in the early developing brain long before myelination.
