Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein

Preferred Label : Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein;

NCIt synonyms : Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein;

NCIt related terms : MOG;

NCIt definition : Myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (247 aa, 28 kDa) is encoded by the human MOG gene. This protein plays a role in the myelination and maintenance of the myelin sheath.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the MOG gene and is involved in the myelination of nerves in the central nervous system. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with the autoimmune diseases multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases.;

NCIt note : Autoantibodies targeting myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein are associated with autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis.; Myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein acts as a viral receptor for rubella virus. (UniProt);
