Name

MOBP Gene

myelin-associated oligodendrocyte basic protein

Predicted to be a structural constituent of myelin sheath. Predicted to be involved in nervous system development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Implicated in frontotemporal dementia. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MOG Gene

myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

OLMALINC Gene

oligodendrocyte maturation-associated long intergenic non-coding RNA

OMG Gene

oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in neuron projection regeneration. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of collateral sprouting of intact axon in response to injury. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane.

OLIG2 Gene

oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2

This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor which is expressed in oligodendroglial tumors of the brain. The protein is an essential regulator of ventral neuroectodermal progenitor cell fate. The gene is involved in a chromosomal translocation t(14;21)(q11.2;q22) associated with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Its chromosomal location is within a region of chromosome 21 which has been suggested to play a role in learning deficits associated with Down syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

OLIG3 Gene

oligodendrocyte transcription factor 3

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axon development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and sensory organ development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; spinal cord motor neuron cell fate specification; and spinal cord motor neuron migration. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

OLIG1 Gene

oligodendrocyte transcription factor 1

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and E-box binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axon development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and sensory organ development. Predicted to act upstream of or within neuron fate commitment. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
