Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 22.7), brain (RPKM 22.7) and 23 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
