Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a minor constituent of the CNS myelin synthesized by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells and is thought to mediate homophilic cell-cell adhesion among other roles. MOG, Myelin basic protein (MBP), and proteolipid proteins (PLP) are potential primary encephalitogenic target antigens in multiple sclerosis.
