myelin basic protein

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a protein believed to be important in the process of myelination of nerves in the nervous system.

Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate (Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate (118506-26-6 Free base)) is an encephalitogenic peptide that induces basic protein-specific T cell proliferation. Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) Acetate causes a Th1 polarization in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which is implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Myelin Basic Protein (87-99) TFA, an encephalitogenic peptide, promotes basic protein-specific T cell proliferation and induces Th1 polarization in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, contributing to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) [1] [2].

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) (68-82), guinea pig, is a peptide with the sequence Tyr-Gly-Ser-Leu-Pro-Gln-Lys-Ser-Gln-Arg-Ser-Gln-Asp-Glu-Asn and represents a fragment of myelin basic protein (MBP).

Myelin Basic Protein (1-11), an encephalitogenic epitope of MBP, facilitates the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) [1] [2].

J5 peptide, an MBP inhibitor, competitively inhibits the binding of MBP 85-99 to HLA-DR2, and mitigates PLP 139-151/MBP 85-99-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. It is utilized in research pertaining to inflammatory and immune diseases [1].

Bovine Peripheral Myelin Protein P2 (53-78) is a derivative composed of amino acid residues 53 to 78 from the peripheral myelin P2 protein of bovine origin. It acts as a T cell epitope and is used to induce experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) in Lewis rats.

Peripheral Myelin P0 Protein (180-199) [mouse] is a purified component of myelin found in peripheral nerves, serving as a neuritogenic peptide that initiates neuronal process growth.

[Ala107]-MBP (104-118) acetate ([Ala107]-MBP ) is synthetic peptide analog of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). Non-competitive inhibitor of PKC (IC50 = 46 - 145 mM).

[Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) is a mutated fragment of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), featuring substitutions of tryptophan to leucine and histidine to arginine at positions 144 and 147, respectively. Immunizing mice with this peptide (50 µg) mixed in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) elevates IL-4 levels in the spleen. While it suppresses Th1 cell activation in vitro, it does not do so in vivo; instead, it promotes the development of regulatory T cells. Preimmunization with [Leu144, Arg147]-PLP (139-151) postpones the onset of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) triggered by encephalitogenic peptides from PLP (178-191), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) (92-106), or myelin basic protein (MBP) in mice.

Ac-MBP 1-11, a primary encephalitogenic epitope in myelin basic protein (MBP), is a dominant short peptide sequence[1].

Dirucotide (MBP8298), a synthetic 17-amino acid peptide, mirrors a segment of human myelin basic protein and has applications in research on central nervous system autoimmune disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [1].

Synthetic peptide analog of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). Non-competitive inhibitor of PKC (IC50 = 46 - 145 mM).

Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) fragment 146-170 is utilized in the study of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [1].

Synthetic peptide analog of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP). Non-competitive inhibitor of PKC (IC50 = 28 - 62 mM).
