Detection of dystrophin in the postsynaptic density of rat brain and deficiency in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a common, lethal, chromosome X-linked inherited disease. Moderate cognitive impairment is a feature of DMD, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. DMD is characterized by a defect in a protein, dystrophin, that is located predominantly in muscle but has been detected in brain. We sought to directly localize dystrophin within the complex synaptic structure of the cerebral...
