MPZL1 is a 269 amino acid widely expressed single-pass type I membrane receptor belonging to the myelin P0 protein family and the immunoglobulin superfamily. MPZL2 (myelin protein zero-like 2), also known as EVA (epithelial V-like antigen) or EVA1, is a 215 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and two potential N-glycosylation sites in its extracellular domain, MPZL2 is expressed in thymus epithelium and is strongly down-regulated by thymocyte developmental progression. MPZL3 (myelin protein zero-like 3) is a 235 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that regulates homophilic cell-to-cell adhesion. A member of the myelin P0 protein family, MPZL3 contains one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and is expressed in brain, heart, liver and skin. g to the myelin P0 protein family and the immunoglobulin superfamily. Existing as four alternatively spliced isoforms, MPZL1 participates in signal transduction and cell migration.
