Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan alpha/epsilon family of transmembrane proteins. The encoded protein is part of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which links the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton in muscle fibers. Disruption of this gene results in progressive muscular dystrophy and is associated with the development of embryonal rhabdomysarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
Expression: Biased expression in heart adult (RPKM 125.0), mammary gland adult (RPKM 27.0) and 2 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
