Translational implications of targeting annexin A2: From membrane repair to muscular dystrophy, cardiovascular disease and cancer

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
1.Annexin A2 is a key repair protein that works with S100A10 and other S100 proteins to execute its membrane repair and extracellular roles. 2.Annexin A2 is a therapeutic target because the loss of annexin A2 function enhances cellular degeneration, which exacerbates muscular dystrophy and cardiovascular disease.

Solution structure of the inner DysF domain of myoferlin and implications for limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2b [PDF]

, 2008
Mutations in the protein dysferlin, a member of the ferlin family, lead to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Myoshi myopathy. The ferlins are large proteins characterised by multiple C2 domains and a single C-terminal membrane-spanning helix ...

Atypical Miyoshi distal myopathy: A case report

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2016
Five distinct predominant distal myopathies have been identified with discrete clinical and genetic patterns. Miyoshi myopathy (MM; early adult-onset, type 2) is a subtype of dysferlinopathy. Furthermore, MM is the most common form of autosomal recessive distal myopathy.

Functions of Vertebrate Ferlins

Cells, 2020
Ferlins are multiple-C2-domain proteins involved in Ca2+-triggered membrane dynamics within the secretory, endocytic and lysosomal pathways. In bony vertebrates there are six ferlin genes encoding, in humans, dysferlin, otoferlin, myoferlin, Fer1L5 and 6

Dysferlin at transverse tubules regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
The class of muscular dystrophies linked to the genetic ablation or mutation of dysferlin, including Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM), are late-onset degenerative diseases.

Recurrent, non-traumatic, non-exertional rhabdomyolysis after immunologic stimuli in a healthy adolescent female: a case report

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background Dysferlinopathy refers to a heterogenous group of autosomal recessive disorders that affect a skeletal muscle protein called dysferlin. These mutations are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B, Miyoshi myopathy, asymptomatic ...

Identification of Novel Antisense-Mediated Exon Skipping Targets in DYSF for Therapeutic Treatment of Dysferlinopathy

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
Dysferlinopathy is a progressive myopathy caused by mutations in the dysferlin (DYSF) gene. Dysferlin protein plays a major role in plasma-membrane resealing.
