Summary: This 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, Oct 2008]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 16.0), ovary (RPKM 15.7) and 22 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001135823.1 → NP_001129295.1 sarcospan isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001129295.1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses a different segment for its 5' UTR and lacks a 5' coding segment which results in the use of a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) is shorter when it is compared to isoform 1.
