Myelin is the insulating sheath which surrounds neurons. In the central nervous system 30% of the myelin is composed of Myelin Basic Protein.1 the function of MBP is not completely defined, although it may provide structural support. Human MBP is an 18.5 kDa amino acid monomeric protein. The structure of MBP can be divided into 3 segments joined by phenylalanine doublets: A—residues 1-43; B—residues 44-89; and C—residues 90-170.1, 2 Segments A and C, the N- and C-termini of the protein, respectively, are highly homologous. Myelin immunoreactivity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is generally due to the B-segment; A and C segments are usually present in low or undetectable levels.3, 4
