Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a key component of the myelin sheath synthesized by Schwan cells in the peripheral nervous system (Garbay et al, 2000). MBP expression is regulated by EGR2, which binds to both to an upstream enhancer and to sites within the first intron of the MBP gene (Forgahni et al, 2001; Denarier et al, 2005; Jang et al, 2006). Consistent with this, MBP expression is decreased in EGR2 knockout mice (Topilko et al, 1994, Le et al, 2005). Sequence analysis suggests that, as is the case for MPZ, SOX10 may act in conjunction with EGR2 to regulate MBP expression (Jones et al, 2006).
