Background

MAG (myelin associated glycoprotein) is a 100-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the SIGLEC family of proteins. MAG is localized in periaxonal Schwann cell and oligodendroglial membranes of myelin sheaths where it functions in glia-axon interactions. It is a functional ligand for the Nogo-66 receptor. MAG is a cell adhesion molecule for postnatal neural development and is thought to be involved in the process of myelination.
