Gene information for SGCB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6443
Official gene symbolSGCB
Full namesarcoglycan, beta (43kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein)
Aliases,A3b,LGMD2E,SGC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
