Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) is a critical protein in neuro research, particularly for its role in the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath. This sheath insulates nerve fibers, significantly increasing the speed of electrical signal transmission. Researchers use MBP to study myelination processes and demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis, making it essential for understanding nerve function and pathology in various neurological conditions. Its expression helps in assessing the integrity and repair of myelin in the central nervous system.

Shipping conditions update: ambient shipping
This product will be delivered at ambient temperature instead of chilled – this is by design. Extensive stability testing confirmed that our products are suitable for shipment under ambient conditions and maintain expected quality.
Why the change?
It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.
What you need to know
- Ambient shipments come with a flyer explaining the below.
- No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
- Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
- Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

Biological function summary
MBP is not just a passive structural element; it binds and interacts with lipids and other proteins to maintain the compact structure of the myelin sheath. MBP forms part of a complex that includes various other proteins and lipids ensuring the stability and function of myelin. Misfolding or altered expression of MBP can compromise myelin integrity affecting the insulation of neural pathways and signal transmission.
Pathways
MBP is an essential component in the pathways of myelination and neural plasticity. It plays a role in the signaling pathways that stimulate the development and maintenance of the myelin sheath. The protein interacts with other elements of the myelin sheath such as proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) to coordinate its formation and repair processes.
