Generic protein structure example

Delta-sarcoglycan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SGCD gene.[1][2][3][4]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is one of the four known components of the sarcoglycan complex, which is a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). DGC forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. This protein is expressed most abundantly in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.[4]

In melanocytic cells SGCD gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[5]

Interactions

SGCD has been shown to interact with FLNC.[6][7]
