MOG wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MOG wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p22.1 and is approximately 15 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, is involved in cell-cell communication and myelin sheath formation and maintenance. Mutation of the gene is associated with narcolepsy and cataplexy (narcolepsy type 7).
