Pmp22 - peripheral myelin protein 22

Predicted to enable cytoskeletal motor activity. Involved in several processes, including myelination; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and negative regulation of neuron projection development. Located in bicellular tight junction and compact myelin. Is integral component of membrane. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (multiple); Guillain-Barre syndrome; and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies. Orthologous to human PMP22 (peripheral myelin protein 22). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
