(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 6445 |
| Official gene symbol | SGCG |
| Full name | sarcoglycan, gamma (35kDa dystrophin-associated glycoprotein) |
| Aliases | ,A4,DAGA4,DMDA,DMDA1,LGMD2C,MAM,MGC130048,SCARMD2,SCG3,TYPE, |
| Gene summary | This gene encodes gamma-sarcoglycan, one of several sarcolemmal transmembrane glycoproteins that interact with dystrophin. The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (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. Defects in the encoded protein can lead to early onset autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, in particular limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C (LGMD2C). [provided by RefSeq] |
