PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a cytoplasmic domain undergoing phosphorylation on several serine residues and a tyrosine group that is maximal during peak nerve myelination
	a large extracellular domain containing a Ig-V type, a single 124 amino acid immunoglobulin-like domain
	a single 26AA transmembrane segment
	a short intracytoplasmic C terminal tail

	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,lysosome
text	integral to plasma membrane
	type I membrane protein
	localized at cell-cell adhesion sites in the plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	involved in formation and maintenance of compact myelin
	playing a role in the creation of an extracellular membrane face which guides the wrapping process and ultimately compacts adjacent lamellae
	critical structural component of myelin in the peripheral nervous system
	the main function of MPZ is the formation and stabilization of the multilamellar membrane structure of compact myelin
	while PLP1 can co-exist with MPZ in peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin, PLP1 cannot replace MPZ as the major structural protein of PNS myelin
