Dystrophin-associated proteins are greatly reduced in skeletal muscle from mdx mice.

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophin, the protein product of the human Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene, exists in skeletal muscle as a large oligomeric complex that contains four glycoproteins of 156, 50, 43, and 35 kD and a protein of 59 kD. Here, we investigated the relative abundance of each of the components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex in skeletal muscle from normal and mdx mice, which are missing dystrophin. Immunoblot...
