ε-Sarcoglycan Replaces α-Sarcoglycan in Smooth Muscle to Form a Unique Dystrophin-Glycoprotein Complex
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
The sarcoglycan complex has been well characterized in striated muscle, and defects in its components are associated with muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy. Here, we have characterized the smooth muscle sarcoglycan complex. By examination of embryonic muscle lineages and biochemical fractionation studies, we demonstrated that epsilon-sarcoglycan is an integral component of the smooth muscle sarcoglycan...
