Molecular and genetic characterization of sarcospan: insights into sarcoglycan-sarcospan interactions
12 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophies 2C-2F represent a family of diseases caused by primary mutations in the sarcoglycan genes. We show that sarcospan, a novel tetraspan-like protein, is also lost in patients with either a complete or partial loss of the sarcoglycans. In particular, sarcospan was absent in a gamma-sarcoglycanopathy patient with normal levels of alpha-, beta- and delta-sarcoglycan....
