Human epsilon-sarcoglycan is highly related to alpha-sarcoglycan (adhalin), the limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2D gene.

FEBS letters - 23 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is critical for muscle membrane stability. The sarcoglycans are transmembrane proteins within the DGC, and the function of the sarcoglycans is unknown. Mutations in sarcoglycan genes cause autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy. We have identified a new s...
