Sarcoglycan Delta (human recombinant)

Source : E.coli. SGCD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 257 amino acids (57-289a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28kDa. SGCD is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus , purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Sarcoglycan Delta (SGCD) is one of the four known components of the sarcoglycan complex, which is a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) and is expressed mainly in skeletal and cardiac muscle. DGC forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. SGCD protein?s mutations have been associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. SGCD gene expression is regulated by MITF In melanocytic cells. Protein function: Component of the sarcoglycan complex, a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which forms a link between the F-actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix.
