Biological Activity

[Description]:

Biotin-myelin basic protein (94-102) is a peptide fragemt. Myelin basic protein is responsible for adhesion of the cytosolic surfaces of multilayered compact myelin, it plays an important role in the process of myelination of nerves in the nervous system. Myelin basic protein also acts as a membrane actin-binding protein, which might allow it to participate in transmission of extracellular signals to the cytoskeleton in oligodendrocytes and tight junctions in myelin[1].
