{"symbol":"MOG","synonyms":["MOGIG2","BTNL11","NRCLP7","BTN6"],"name":"myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein","description":"The product of this gene is a membrane protein expressed on the oligodendrocyte cell surface and the outermost surface of myelin sheaths. Due to this localization, it is a primary target antigen involved in immune-mediated demyelination. This protein may be involved in completion and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in cell-cell communication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
