Function
Dystroglycan (DG) is a central component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which plays a critical role in a variety of muscular dystrophies[1]. α- and β-dystroglycan constitute a membrane-spanning complex that connects the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton[2]. DG is a cell-surface laminin receptor which is expressed in cells contacting basement membrane in developing and adult tissue[3].
Disease
Muscle-eye-brain disease patients exhibit deficiency in α-DG[4]. There is a relationship between aberrant glycosylation of α-DG and congenital muscular dystrophies[5].
Structural highlights
DG is encoded by a single gene and is cleaved into α- and β-DG posttranslationally.
