QuickView for MOG (gene)

Gene Symbol:

MOG Homo sapiens

Full name:

myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein

Synonyms:

BTN6, BTNL11, MOGIG2, NRCLP7, myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, MOG AluA, MOG AluB, MOG Ig-AluB, MOG alpha-5

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 29732788-29748128

Description:

The product of this gene is a membrane protein expressed on the oligodendrocyte cell surface and the outermost surface of myelin sheaths. Due to this localization, it is a primary target antigen involved in immune-mediated demyelination. This protein may be involved in completion and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. ...

The product of this gene is a membrane protein expressed on the oligodendrocyte cell surface and the outermost surface of myelin sheaths. Due to this localization, it is a primary target antigen involved in immune-mediated demyelination. This protein may be involved in completion and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
