Peptide Name: MBP (228-235) pT232

Product Use: Services as a blocking peptide for use with the MBP-pT232 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. No.: AB-PN558) that is also available from Kinexus. This phosphopeptide may also be useful as a substrate for screening the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases. The peptide sequence is located in the middle of the Myelin_MBP domain in the C-terminal half of the protein. This is the main phosphosite targeted by the ERK1 and ERK2 MAP kinases. The effect of its phosphorylation is unclear.

Scientific Background: Myelin basic protein (MBP) isoforms (isoform 4-isoform 14) are with PLP the most abundant protein components of the myelin membrane in the CNS. They are involved in both its formation and stabilization. The smaller isoforms might have an important role in remyelination of denuded axons in multiple sclerosis. Non-classic group of MBP isoforms (isoform 1-isoform 3/Golli-MBPs) appear to have a role in the early developing brain long before myelination, possibily as components of transcriptional complexes, and may also be involved in signalling pathways in T-cells and neural cells. Differential splicing events combined with optional post-translational modifications give a wide spectrum of isomers, with each of them potentially having a specialized function. Induces T-cell proliferation.
