Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to Human Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein

• Cat.No.: CAB11583RH
• Product Overview: Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to Human Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein

Specification

• Antigen Description: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a transmembrane protein belonging to immunoglobulin superfamily, and contains an Ig-like domain followed by two potential membrane-spanning regions. MOG is expressed only in the CNS with very low content (approximately 0.1% total proteins) in oligodendrogliocyte membrane. Three possible functions for MOG were suggested: (a) a cellular adhesive molecule, (b) a regulator of oligodendrocyte microtubule stability, and (c) a mediator of interactions between myelin and the immune system, in particular, the complement cascade. A direct interaction might exist between the membrane-associated regions of MOG and the myelin-specific glycolipid galactocerebroside (Gal-C), and such an interaction may have important consequences regarding the membrane topology and function of both molecules. It is considered that MOG is an autoantigen capable to produce a demyelinating multiple sclerosis-like disease in experimental animals.

Q&As

In which cells or tissues is MOG predominantly expressed?

MOG is predominantly expressed on the outer surface of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system.

What role does MOG play in autoimmune demyelinating diseases?

MOG is a target in autoimmune demyelinating diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks it, damaging the myelin sheath.

What diagnostic or therapeutic strategies involve MOG in the context of demyelinating diseases?

MOG antibody testing helps diagnose and distinguish different demyelinating diseases, and therapies aim to modulate the immune response to prevent MOG attack.

Are there known genetic mutations or alterations in MOG associated with specific neurological conditions?

There are no widely recognized genetic mutations in MOG associated with neurological conditions, but research is ongoing.

How does MOG contribute to the integrity and function of the myelin sheath?

MOG contributes to myelin integrity, aiding in proper nerve signal transmission.

How is MOG implicated in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

MOG antibodies are found in a subset of MS patients, but their exact role in MS pathogenesis is still under investigation.

What is the primary function of MOG in the nervous system?

MOG is involved in the maintenance and stability of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system.
