Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) is a glycoprotein believed to be important in the process of myelinization of nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). In humans this protein is encoded by the MOG gene.

Molecular function

While the primary molecular function of MOG is not yet known, its likely role with the myelin sheath is either in sheath “completion and/or maintenance”.”

MOG’s cDNA coding region in humans have been shown to be “highly homologous”

Physiology

The gene for MOG, found on chromosome 6p21.3-p22,<ref...
