Structure section

Hey all, I have added a section on structure that discusses the intrinsic disorder of MBP as well as its post-translational modifications. I included several new citations, and especially relied on work by Boggs and Harauz. There is a lot of info I was working to sift through, so feel free to clarify or adjust as needed. I also included a figure I created showing the relationship between degree of citrullination of net positive charge of the protein.Vazi97 (talk) 19:18, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Function section

Is copy & paste the way things are usually done? Not entirely identical, but close. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Term=4155

Seems curing disease is as fast as hand-pipetting will allow. Someone needs to automate this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shtanto (talk • contribs) 14:23, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If i am not mistaken, the protein crystal structure is wrong. The picture actually shows HLA-DR2 receptor. The referenced PDB file(1BX2) has only a few fragments of MBP (chains C and F) that bind to the alpha helices on the right of the picture.

I don't know if should put this here, but I wanted to know the function of this protein, but under "Function" it doesn't really talk about the function of the protein, but it explains how it is transcribed. I would like to know the function of the protein, and what it really does in myelinsheets. Lubberink (talk) 15:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gene Variations

Are there any variants for the gene for myelin?Flaviusvulso (talk) 02:18, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
