Proteolipid protein 1

Proteolipid protein 1 is a protein associated with is_associated_with::Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease. It is a 4 transmembrane domain protein which is proposed to bind other copies of itself on the extracellular side of the membrane. In a myelin sheath, as the layers of myelin wraps come together, PLP will bind itself and tightly hold the cellular membranes together.

Interactions
Proteolipid protein 1 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::Myelin basic protein.
