Dystrophin is a rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein, and a vital part of a protein complex that connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to the surrounding extracellular matrix through the cell membrane. This complex is variously known as the costamere or the dystrophin-associated protein complex. Many muscle proteins, such as α-dystrobrevin, synco...

<protein> Protein (400 kD) from skeletal muscle that is missing in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Its exact role is not yet clear, though it seems to be associated with the cytoplasmic face of the sarcolemma and T tubules and may form part of the membrane cytoskeleton. There are sequence homologies with nonmuscle _ actinin and with spectrin. â...

(dis´trә-fin) a protein found in skeletal and cardiac muscle, normally in a tightly bound complex with sarcolemmal glycoproteins; mutations in the gene encoding it have been associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, and occasionally also other types of skeletal muscle dysfunction.

Type: Term Pronunciation: dis-trō′fin Definitions: 1. A protein found in the sarcolemma of normal muscle; it is missing in people with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy and in other forms of muscular dystrophy; its role may be in the linkage of the cytoskeleton of the muscle cell to extracellular protein. Synonyms: distropin, dystrop...
