Mog Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in T cell receptor signaling pathway and regulation of cytokine production. Located in myelin sheath. Is expressed in brain; cerebellum; and dentate gyrus subgranular zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple sclerosis; narcolepsy; and optic neuritis. Orthologous to human MOG (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mog often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
