myelin basic protein

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP 4-14) is a protein believed to be important in the process of myelination of nerves in the nervous system.

Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate (Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate (118506-26-6 Free base)) is an encephalitogenic peptide that induces basic protein-specific T cell proliferation. Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate causes a Th1 polarization in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which is implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Myelin Basic Protein (MHP4-14) TFA, a synthetic peptide comprising residues 4-14 of myelin basic protein, serves as a highly selective substrate for protein kinase C (PKC) with a K_m of 7 μM. It is not phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, casein kinases I and II, Ca^2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, or phosphorylase kinase, making it an ideal candidate for protein kinase C assays in crude tissue extracts, ensuring minimal background interference [1] [2].

Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) TFA, an encephalitogenic peptide, promotes basic protein-specific T cell proliferation and induces Th1 polarization in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, contributing to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) [1] [2].

Myelin Basic Protein (1-11), an encephalitogenic epitope of MBP, facilitates the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) [1] [2].

Biotin-myelin basic protein (94-102) is a peptide fragment crucial for myelin adhesion within the nervous system, facilitating myelination. This protein contributes to signal transduction by interacting as a membrane actin-binding protein, possibly influencing oligodendrocyte cytoskeleton communication and myelin tight junctions [1].

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) (68-82), guinea pig, is a peptide with the sequence Tyr-Gly-Ser-Leu-Pro-Gln-Lys-Ser-Gln-Arg-Ser-Gln-Asp-Glu-Asn and represents a fragment of myelin basic protein (MBP).

[pGlu4]-Myelin Basic Protein (4-14) is a phosphorylated fragment of myelin basic protein, specifically the sequence from 4 to 14 (EKRPSQRSKYL). This peptide fragment is centered around the serine residue at position 8 in the myelin basic protein.

Des-[Gly77,His78] Myelin Basic Protein (68-84) is a segment of the 68-84 sequence of guinea pig myelin basic protein (GPMBP). It influences the diversification of functions related to encephalitogenic and proliferative activities in T cells associated with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Myelin basic protein, MBP (68-86), represents a segment from the 68th to the 86th amino acid residues in the MBP protein sequence. It can act as a self-antigen, initiating an immune response against the body’s own myelin sheath. Additionally, MBP (68-86) serves as an immunogen in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal models and is utilized in studies concerning the immune responses linked to multiple sclerosis (MS).

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) fragment 146-170 is utilized in the study of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [1].

J5 peptide, an MBP inhibitor, competitively inhibits the binding of MBP 85-99 to HLA-DR2, and mitigates PLP 139-151/MBP 85-99-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. It is utilized in research pertaining to inflammatory and immune diseases [1].

Dirucotide (MBP8298), a synthetic 17-amino acid peptide, mirrors a segment of human myelin basic protein and has applications in research on central nervous system autoimmune disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [1].

[Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) is a mutated fragment of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), featuring substitutions of tryptophan to leucine and histidine to arginine at positions 144 and 147, respectively. Immunizing mice with this peptide (50 µg) mixed in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) elevates IL-4 levels in the spleen. While it suppresses Th1 cell activation in vitro, it does not do so in vivo; instead, it promotes the development of regulatory T cells. Preimmunization with [Leu144, Arg147]-PLP (139-151) postpones the onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) triggered by encephalitogenic peptides from PLP (178-191), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) (92-106), or myelin basic protein (MBP) in mice.

Ac-MBP 1-11, a primary encephalitogenic epitope in myelin basic protein (MBP), is a dominant short peptide sequence[1].
