Tissue specificity:In the embryo, isoform 1-isoform 3 are found in neurons within the central nervous system (primarily in pioneer neurons important in the formation of the cortex) and the peripheral nervous system. They are also expressed in the thymus, gut, lung and kidney. In the adult, isoform 1-isoform 3 are highly expressed in the brain (mainly in brain regions rich in oligodendrocytes) and spleen. Lower levels are seen in the heart, kidney and lung. Isoform 2 is also found in cells of the immune system. The isoforms missing the 134 first amino acids (isoform 4-isoform 13) are almost exclusively produced in the myelin-forming cells, the mature oligodendrocytes.
Induction:
Developmental stage:The differential expression of MBP isoforms is developmentally regulated. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are first expressed during embryonic stages (as early as at embryonic day 11.5), expression of isoform 1 is turned on shortly after birth. Expression of the isoforms missing the 134 first amino acids occurs later, presumably as the oligodendrocytes approach their terminally differentiated state. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9736652}.
