Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5375
Gene name Peripheral myelin protein 2
Gene symbol PMP2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CMT1GFABP8M-FABPMP2P2
Chromosome 8
Chromosome location 8q21.13
Summary The protein encoded by this gene localizes to myelin sheaths of the peripheral nervous system. The encoded protein can bind both the membrane layers of the sheaths and monomeric lipids, and is thought to provide stability to the sheath. A defect in this g
