Abstract
Dystrophin is a protein product of the X-linked gene mutation that is responsible for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. The protein binds actin and associates with dystrophin-glycoprotein complex to link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Defects in the components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex are responsible for several phenotypes of muscular dystrophy.Entities:
