MeSH Heading: Myelin Basic Protein
Tree Number(s): D12.776.543.620.540; D12.776.631.580.510
Unique ID: D004676
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004676
Scope Note: An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.
