text: Yo, listen up, I got some knowledge to drop,
  'Bout alpha-dystroglycan, yo, it's straight to the top.
  A cell surface protein, it's peripheral, you see,
  Bindin' to the matrix, keepin' things real steady.
  
  Now beta-dystroglycan, it's a different kind of beast,
  Integral membrane protein, anchorin' at least.
  It hooks up alpha-dystroglycan, that's its game,
  N-terminal domain, lockin' in the fame.
  
  Together they form the dystroglycan complex,
  Holdin' it down, nothin' but the best.
  While defects in the gene ain't the primary cause,
  Secondary abnormalities, breakin' laws.
  
  Muscular dystrophies, they're the real deal,
  Sarcoglycanopathy, they make you feel.
  LGMD2C, D, E, and F,
  That's the crew, causin' misery.
  
  In this study, we peeped them hamsters, you know,
  LGMD2F model, puttin' on a show.
  Beta-dystroglycan, proteolytic processin',
  In skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscles, it's impressin'.
  
  Compared to the normals, it was highly activated,
  Dystroglycan complex, it got infiltrated.
  Muscle degeneration, startin' at the core,
  Disruptin' the link, can't ignore.
  
  Early phase, we witnessed the damage unfold,
  Proteolytic processin', takin' its hold.
  Extracellular matrix, cell-membrane bound,
  Dystroglycan complex, it's losin' ground.
  
  This here, my friends, is the pathogenesis,
  Muscle degeneration, it's the genesis.
  Cardiomyopathic hamsters, they feel the pain,
  Proteolytic processin', it's the main strain.
  
  So, there you have it, the rap rendition,
  Alpha-dystroglycan, beta's expedition.
  The dystroglycan complex, it's under attack,
  Muscle degeneration, ain't cuttin' no slack.
