MPZL3


Description

The MPZL3 gene, also known as Myelin Protein Zero-Like 3, plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the peripheral nervous system. This gene provides instructions for creating a protein that is essential for forming the myelin sheath, a fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers, enabling rapid and efficient transmission of nerve impulses. Mutations in the MPZL3 gene can disrupt myelin formation, leading to a range of neurological disorders characterized by impaired nerve function.
