oligodendrocyte glycoprotein

Some of the proteins are myelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and proteolipid protein.

The crystal structure of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein was determined by x-ray diffraction at a resolution of 1.45 Angstrom, using protein from the Norway rat.

Following ablation of MRF the expression of myelin genes such as proteolipid protein, myelin basic protein, myelin-associated glycoprotein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein drops rapidly.

These involve the hepatitis B virus mimicking the human proteolipid protein (myelin protein) and the Epstein-Barr virus mimicking anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (contributes to a ring of myelin around blood vessels).

Butyrophilin has been presented as a potential antigen which may be similar enough to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) to spur the immune system to attack myelin in a process known as molecular or epitopic mimicry.
