Abstract excerpt
The dystrobrevins (alpha and beta) are components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DPC), which links the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and serves as a scaffold for signaling proteins. The precise functions of the beta-dystrobrevin isoform, which is expressed in nonmuscle tissues, have not yet been determined. To gain further insights into the role of beta-dystrobrevin in brain, we...
