Supplementary information

The PXMP2/PMP22 protein also known as Peripheral Myelin Protein 22 has an important role in maintaining membrane structures and functions. Its molecular weight is approximately 22 kDa. This protein is mainly found in Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Schwann cells and to a lesser extent in other tissues. It integrates into the peroxisomal membrane and participates in forming membrane channels that are essential for peroxisomal function. PXMP2/PMP22 influences the structural integrity and permeability of the membrane allowing various small molecules to pass which is essential for maintaining cell homeostasis.
Biological function summary

PXMP2/PMP22 supports the development and maintenance of myelin the protective sheath around nerve fibers that ensures efficient nerve signal transmission. It is an important component of the compact myelin structure. In Schwann cells PXMP2/PMP22 works as part of a complex network of proteins that coordinate to regulate cellular functions necessary for myelin sheath formation and repair. This protein's role in maintaining myelin integrity is integral to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Pathways

PXMP2/PMP22 is integral to the myelination pathway which involves the assembly and preservation of myelin sheathing nerve fibers. It interacts with other myelin-associated proteins such as Connexin 32 and Myelin Protein Zero. These interactions ensure coordinated development and repair of the myelin sheath which is vital for rapid nerve impulse transmission. Another significant pathway involving PXMP2/PMP22 includes lipid metabolism in which it aids peroxisomal transport processes necessary for breaking down lipid molecules.

PXMP2/PMP22 has connections to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) a hereditary neuropathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and sensory loss. Alterations in the expression of the PXMP2/PMP22 gene including duplication cause disruptions in normal myelin function leading to the development of CMT1A symptoms. Additionally abnormal PXMP2/PMP22 expression associates with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome revealing its critical role in maintaining myelin integrity. The protein's dysfunction in these diseases further highlights its importance in myelin stability and nerve function.
