Abstract excerpt
Myelin protein zero (MPZ or P0) is a transmembrane protein which functions to glue membranes in peripheral myelin. Inter-membrane adhesion is mediated by homophilic interactions between the extracellular domains (ECDs) of MPZ. Single amino acid substitutions in an ECD cause demyelinating neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), with unknown mechanisms. In this study, by using a novel assay system...
