Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) is a transmembrane protein; which is expressed exclusively in the CNS. MOG contains a single Ig-domain exposed to the extracellular space that allows autoantibodies easy access. MOG protein has been identified as a crucial autoantigen for multiple sclerosis in humans. MOG is capable to produce a demyelinating multiple sclerosis-like diseases in experimental animals; namely experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE); in rodents and monkeys.
Recombinant Human Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Gly30-Gly154 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
