Serum protein electrophoresis showing a paraprotein (spike/peak in the gamma zone) in a patient with multiple myeloma.. A myeloma protein is an abnormal antibody (immunoglobulin) or (more often) a fragment thereof, such as an immunoglobulin light chain, that is produced in excess by an abnormal monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells, typically in multiple myeloma or Monoclonal gammopathy of ...
M protein is a virulence factor that can be produced by certain species of Streptococcus. [1] Viruses, parasites and bacteria are covered in protein and sugar molecules that help them gain entry into a host by counteracting the host's defenses. One such molecule is the M protein produced by certain streptococcal bacteria.
Viral matrix protein, structural protein linking the viral envelope with the virus capsid; Coronavirus membrane protein, structural protein expressed from the M gene in coronaviruses; Myeloma protein, also called paraprotein, an abnormal protein in the urine or blood, often seen in multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined ...
The M protein is a transmembrane protein with three transmembrane domains and is around 230 amino acid residues long. [8] [9] In SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, the M protein is 222 residues long. [10]

Multiple myeloma is diagnosed based on blood or urine tests finding abnormal antibody proteins (often using electrophoretic techniques revealing the presence of a monoclonal spike in the results, termed an m-spike), bone marrow biopsy finding cancerous plasma cells, and medical imaging finding bone lesions.
