Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by frameshift mutations in the DMD gene
that prevent the body-wide translation of its protein product, dystrophin. Besides a severe …

Multiple dystrophin Dp71 isoforms have been identified in rats, mice, and humans and in
several cell line models. These Dp71 isoforms are produced by the alternative splicing of …

Dystrophin Dp71 is the smallest isoform of the DMD gene, mutations in which cause
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Dp71 has also been shown to have roles in various …

Dp40 is ubiquitously expressed including the central nervous system. In addition to being
present in the nucleus, membrane, and cytoplasm, Dp40 is detected in neurites and …

Several dystrophin Dp71 messenger RNA (mRNA) alternative splice variants have been
described. According to the splicing of exon 78 or intron 77, Dp71 proteins are grouped as …

The precise functional role of the dystrophin 71 in neurons is still elusive. Previously, we
reported that dystrophin 71d and dystrophin 71f are present in nuclei from cultured neurons …

Dp71 dystrophin is the main DMD gene product expressed in the central nervous system.
Experiments using PC12 cells as a neuronal model have shown that Dp71 isoforms are …

The Dp71 protein is the most abundant dystrophin in the central nervous system (CNS).
Several dystrophin Dp71 isoforms have been described and are classified into three groups …

Several dystrophin Dp71 isoforms have previously been described and can be grouped into
two subfamilies (Dp71d or Dp71f) depending upon the splicing of exon 78. As a …

Dp40 is the shortest DMD gene product that has been reported to date. It is encoded by
exons 63–70, a region required for a β-dystroglycan interaction. Its expression has been …
