Function and genetics of dystrophin and dystrophin-related proteins in muscle. [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2002 The X-linked muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. There is currently no effective treatment for the disease; however, the complex molecular pathology of this disorder is now being unravelled.

Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 1991
Recent advances concerning the genetic and biochemical basis of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies have resulted in a good understanding of the etiology of these common dystrophies. An important secondary consequence of the genetic and biochemical research has been the generation of gene-based and protein-based diagnostic tools which enable a ...

Dystrophin is a plasma membrane-associated cytoskeletal protein of the spectrin superfamily. The dystrophin cytoskeleton has been first characterized in muscle. Muscular 427 kDa dystrophin binds to subplasmalemmal actin filaments via its amino-terminal domain.

Functions of dystrophin and dystrophin associated proteins
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1997Dystrophin is a protein product of the X-linked gene mutation that is responsible for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. The protein binds actin and associates with dystrophin-glycoprotein complex to link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix.

Dynamic restoration of dystrophin to dystrophin-deficient myotubes
Muscle & Nerve, 2001Dystrophin domains are observed in myoblast transplantation experiments and in muscle fibers after somatic reversion in human Duchenne and mdx mouse muscular dystrophy. However, the formation and evolution of dystrophin-positive domains are not well established.

Neuromuscular Disorders, 1993
The respective localizations of dystrophin and dystrophin-related protein (DRP or utrophin) along the sarcolemmal membrane and at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in normal and dystrophin-deficient skeletal muscles, were determined using confocal laser microscopy. The analysis was prompted by the recent availability of a new anti-utrophin mAb [Bewick
