Protein
UniProt ID P25189
Protein name Myelin protein P0 (Myelin peripheral protein) (MPP) (Myelin protein zero)
Protein function Is an adhesion molecule necessary for normal myelination in the peripheral nervous system. It mediates adhesion between adjacent myelin wraps and ultimately drives myelin compaction.
