Abstract excerpt
Dystrophin has a modular structure and is believed to be critical for muscle cell cytoarchitecture by linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. The N-terminus binds to actin and two domains at the C-terminus, the cysteine-rich and C-terminal domains, are associated with the sarcolemma indirectly via the dystroglycan complex. We have generated a mutation in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells which serves...
