myelin P0 Is an adhesion molecule necessary for normal myelination in the peripheral nervous system. It mediates adhesion between adjacent myelin wraps and ultimately drives myelin compaction. Belongs to the myelin P0 protein family. Found only in peripheral nervous system Schwann cells. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
