(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8082
Official gene symbolSSPN
Full namesarcospan (Kras oncogene-associated gene)
Aliases,DAGA5,KRAG,NSPN,SPN1,SPN2,nanospan,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). The DGC spans the sarcolemma and is comprised of dystrophin, syntrophin, alpha- and beta-dystroglycans and sarcoglycans. The DGC provides a structural link between the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix of muscle cells. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
