Gene information for SGCD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6444
Official gene symbolSGCD
Full namesarcoglycan, delta (35kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein)
Aliases,35DAG,CMD1L,DAGD,MGC22567,SG-delta,SGCDP,SGD,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is one of the four known components of the sarcoglycan complex, which is a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). DGC forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. This protein is expressed most abundantly in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
