beta Sarcoglycan

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.

Involvement in disease

Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 4

LGMDR4

An autosomal recessive degenerative myopathy characterized by pelvic and shoulder muscle wasting, onset usually in childhood and variable progression rate.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Disulfide bonds are present.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sarcoglycan beta/delta/gamma/zeta family.

Tissue specificity

Highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle. Low expression in brain, kidney, placenta, pancreas and lung. High expression in fetal brain. Also found in fetal lung, kidney and liver.
