Abnormal Dysbindin Expression in Cerebellar Mossy Fiber Synapses in the mdx Mouse Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
23 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC), comprising sarcoglycans, dystroglycans, dystrobrevins, and syntrophins, is a component of synapses both in muscle and brain. Dysbindin is a novel component of the DPC, which binds to beta-dystrobrevin and may serve as an adaptor protein that links the DPC to an intracellular signaling cascade. Disruption of the DPC results in muscular dystrophy, and mutations in...
