Dystroglycan Is Essential for Early Embryonic Development: Disruption of Reichert's Membrane in Dag1-Null Mice
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
Dystroglycan is a central component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), a protein assembly that plays a critical role in a variety of muscular dystrophies. In order to better understand the function of dystroglycan in development and disease, we have generated a null allele of dystroglycan (Dag1neo2) in mice. Heterozygous Dag1neo2 mice are viable and fertile. In contrast, homozygous Dag1neo2 embryos...
