Dysferlin is a cell membrane bound protein with a role in the repair of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells. Deficiency of dysferlin leads to limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi myopathy. In cardiac muscle, dysferlin is located at the intercalated disc and transverse tubule membranes.
