The role of dystrophin isoforms and interactors in the brain

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophin is a protein crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of skeletal muscle. So far, attention has been focused on the role of dystrophin in muscle, in view of the devastating progression of weakness and early death that characterizes Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, in the last few years, the role of shorter dystrophin isoforms, including development and adult expression-specific mechanisms,...
