SSPN - sarcospan Gene
Also Known as KRAG; NSPN; SPN1; SPN2; DAGA5
Species: Homo sapiens
About SSPN
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants) and 199 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 16.0), ovary (RPKM 15.7) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). The DGC spans the sarcolemma and is comprised of Dystrophin, syntrophin, alpha- and beta-dystroglycans and sarcoglycans. The DGC provides a structural link between the subsarcolemmal Cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix of muscle cells. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
