Gene information for SGCZ (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID137868
Official gene symbolSGCZ
Full namesarcoglycan, zeta
Aliases,MGC149397,ZSG1,
Gene summaryThe zeta-sarcoglycan gene measures over 465 kb and localizes to 8p22. This protein is part of the sarcoglycan complex, a group of 6 proteins. The sarcoglycans are all N-glycosylated transmembrane proteins with a short intra-cellular domain, a single transmembrane region and a large extra-cellular domain containing a carboxyl-terminal cluster with several conserved cysteine residues. The sarcoglycan complex is part of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC), which bridges the inner cytoskeleton and the extra-cellular matrix. [provided by RefSeq]
