Dystrophin is an integral component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), a large protein assembly that links the intracellular cytoskeleton of muscle fibers to the extracellular matrix.

A new study has shed light on the complex interactions between dystrophin, a protein critical to muscle stability, and its partner protein, dystrobrevin, offering new pathways for understanding ...

Dystrophin is part of a protein complex linking the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers to the surrounding connective tissue (basal lamina). It’s a long protein with numerous redundant coils (purple balls), ...

It is an X-linked recessive disorder that occurs due to changes in the DMD gene, which codes for the protein dystrophin. Dystrophin is a protein that plays a role in strengthening muscle fibers ...

We hypothesized that the syntrophins function as molecular anchors to link dystrophin and utrophin to other cell structures. To understand the organization of the utrophin complex at neuromuscular ...
