Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets myelin protein P0 (gene MPZ) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 27.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 28 kDa.
Myelin protein zero (P0, encoded by MPZ) is the main structural protein of peripheral nervous system myelin. This immunoglobulin-like adhesion molecule holds adjacent myelin wraps together and drives myelin compaction, and MPZ mutations cause several forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human U-87MG cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human Myelin Protein Zero fragment (Ile30–Arg153), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places myelin protein P0 in the cell membrane and SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Found only in peripheral nervous system Schwann cells. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
