Removal of dystroglycan causes severe muscular dystrophy in zebrafish embryos

15 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Muscular dystrophy is frequently caused by disruption of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which links muscle cells to the extracellular matrix. Dystroglycan, a central component of the DGC, serves as a laminin receptor via its extracellular alpha subunit, and interacts with dystrophin (and thus the actin cytoskeleton) through its integral membrane beta subunit. We have removed the function of...
