Functions of dystrophin and dystrophin associated proteins.

Current opinion in neurology - 1 Oct 1997

Michalak M, Opas M

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophin is a protein product of the X-linked gene mutation that is responsible for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. The protein binds actin and associates with dystrophin-glycoprotein complex to link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Defects in the components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex are responsible for several phenotypes of muscular dystrophy.
