| Description | MOG (183-191) FVIVPVLGP MOG (Mouse Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein – UniProtKB – Q61885) is a minor component of the myelin sheath of the CNS (Central Nervous System). This protein plays a role in the maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. MOG (Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein) is an integral membrane glycoprotein type I of the immunoglobulin family (Ig) found exclusively in mammals with a molecular weight around 26-28 kDa. MOG 183-191 induces EAE Multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), is characterized by primary demyelination. EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis) is the most commonly used experimental model for studying multiple Sclerosis. The MOG (183-191) peptide can be used to induce an immune response and provoke a demyelination of the CNS (Central Nervous System). MOG183-191 can generate specific anti-MOG 183-191 antibodies. This process leads to an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis to the host. |
