Monoclonal Anti-PMP22 antibody produced in mouse

Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), also known as growth arrest-specific protein 3 (GAS-3), is a tetraspan glycoprotein. It is highly expressed in myelin-forming Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 17p12–13.

peptide corresponding to the second extracellular domain of human PMP22 (amino acids 120-133).

Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) plays a vital role in myelination during peripheral nerve development. It also has a role in cell-cell interactions, cell proliferation, maintenance of axons and the determination of myelin thickness and stability. Aberrations or mutations in the PMP22 gene lead to heritable demyelinating peripheral neuropathies, such as Charcot-Marie-tooth disease type IA (CMT1A) and Dejerine-Sottas syndrome. Overexpression of PMP22 might contribute to the development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
