The human brain contains four isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP), previously identified by cDNA cloning. We have now isolated and characterized genomic clones encoding the human MBP gene. The gene is 45 kb in extent and consists of seven exons. Alternative splicing of the primary MBP transcript
By selective cloning of gene products newly expressed in the developing chick optic tectum, we have isolated cDNA clones encoding myelin basic protein (MBP). Three different transcripts of the corresponding single copy gene of 2.7 kb, 2.0 kb, and 1.1 kb were observed on Northern blots. In the develo
In the past 6 years, our conception of the major myelin protein genes has begun to change significantly because of recent findings documenting the existence of new exons encoding other products of these genes. A decade ago the myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) genes were thoug
## Abstract Since synthesis of myelin components has been seen to be stimulated by cAMP in both oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells we have begun investigating the specific sequence(s) in the 5โฒ flanking region of the myelin basic protein (MBP) gene that are responsible for the induction of MBP tran
