Myelin protein zero (P0) is a glycoprotein associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and Dejerine-Sottas disease.
Myelin protein-zero is the major structural protein of peripheral myelin.[supplied by OMIM][1]

The myelin sheath is a multi-layered membrane, unique to the nervous system, that functions as an insulator to greatly increase the velocity of axonal impulse conduction. The P0 glycoprotein, absent in the central nervous system,[2] is a major component of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves. It comprises a large extracellular N-terminal domain, a single transmembrane (TM) region, and a smaller positively charged intracellular domain. It is postulated that P0 is a structural element in the formation and stabilisation of peripheral nerve myelin,[3] holding its characteristic coil structure together by the interaction of its positively-charged domain with acidic lipids in the cytoplasmic face of the opposed bilayer, and by interaction between hydrophobic globular `heads' of adjacent extracellular domains.[2]
Myelin protein zero has been shown to interact with Peripheral myelin protein 22.[4]
