Disrupting the transmembrane domain interface between PMP22 and MPZ causes peripheral neuropathy

2023-12-24

Abstract excerpt

PMP22 and MPZ are abundant myelin membrane proteins in Schwann cells. The MPZ adhesion protein holds myelin wraps together across the intraperiod line. PMP22 is a tetraspan protein belonging to the Claudin superfamily. Loss of either MPZ or PMP22 causes severe demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy, and duplication of PMP22 causes the most common form of CMT, CMT1A. Yet, the molecular functi...
