Myelin protein zero: mutations in the cytoplasmic domain interfere with its cellular trafficking.
Journal of neuroscience research - 1 May 2006
Konde Viren, Eichberg Joseph
Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic domain of myelin protein zero (MPZ), the principal protein of peripheral myelin, undergoes phosphorylation on several serine residues and a tyrosine group that is maximal during peak nerve myelination. Mutations that could affect MPZ phosphorylation cause the inherited neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Type 1B. To investigate a possible role for phosphorylation in regulation of MPZ...
