Dystrophin, the protein product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene, is
associated with a large oligomeric complex of sarcolemmal glycoproteins, including …

Dystroglycan provides a crucial linkage between the cytoskeleton and the basement
membrane for skeletal muscle cells. Disruption of this linkage leads to various forms of …

The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex was tested for interaction with several components of
the extracellular matrix as well as actin. The 156-kD dystrophin-associated glycoprotein (156 …

Completely updated, the Fifth Edition of this standard-setting two-volume reference presents
the most advanced diagnostic techniques and the latest information on all currently known …

Aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on skeletal muscle fibers is thought to be
mediated by the basal lamina protein agrln. Structural similarities shared by agrin and …

Dystroglycan is a central component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), a
protein assembly that plays a critical role in a variety of muscular dystrophies. In order to …

Dystrophin, the product of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene, is tightly associated with
the sarcolemmal membrane to a large glycoprotein complex. One function of the dystrophin …

The dystrophin associated proteins (DAPs) are good candidates for harboring primary
mutations in the genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies …

Background—Dystrophin gene mutations cause 2 common muscular dystrophies,
