- MOG 35-55 amide
Amino acids 35-55 derived from the Immunogenic Myelin Oligodendrocyte protein (MOG). Produced by oligodendrocytes, MOG is an integral part of the oligodendrocyte surface membrane, located in the central nervous system (CNS) and plays an important role in the maintenance and disintegration of the myelin sheath. Unique within their immunoglobulin superfamily, MOG is composed of a transmembrane hydrophobic domain, an extracellular immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domain, a short cytoplasmic loop and within the membrane bilayer there is a second hydrophobic region and after this, a cytoplasmic end. In addition to 218 amino acids of the mature MOG protein, it contains a 29 amino acids long signal peptide.
MOG has not only been found to be expressed in the CNS but also at low levels in the peripheral nervous system. Generally MOG is expressed during myelination and functions to maintain the myelin sheath’s structurally integrity through mediating interactions between the myelin and the immune system. This is possible due to its adhesion characteristics and its external location which makes it accessible to antibodies and T-cells. Furthermore is has been suggested that MOG is involved in regulating oligodendrocyte microtubule stability and it can be used as a differentiation marker for oligodendrocyte maturation.Myelin forms a lipid layer around neurons which insulates them. MOG has immunodmainant epitopes: 1-22; 35-55 and 92-106 and this is located at the dimer interface which is formed by MOG IgV domains forming a dimer. These MOG epitopes are recognized by encepalitogenic T cells as foreign antigens. As a result demyelination occurs and this happens in the disease state of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
As MOG is associated with inflammatory demyelinating diseases within the CNS such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, this MOG (35-55) product can be used to induce these disease states in animal models.
