Gamma-sarcoglycan is a

muscle fibres,[10] and are essential for the preservation of the integrity of the muscle cell membrane.[11]

Function

Gamma-sarcoglycan is one of several sarcolemmal transmembrane glycoproteins that interact with

Structure

Gene

Human SGCG gene maps to

Protein

Gamma-sarcoglycan is a type II

amino acids. It has a 35 amino acid intracellular N-terminal region, a 25 amino acid single transmembrane domain, and a 231 amino acid extra-cellular C-terminus.[8]

Clinical significance

limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) caused by mutations in any of the four sarcoglycan genes: α (LGMD2D), β (LGMD2E), γ (LGMD2C) and δ (LGMD2F).[7] Severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy (SCARMD) is a progressive muscle-wasting disorder that segregates with microsatellite markers at γ-sarcoglycan gene. Mutations in the γ-sarcoglycan gene were first described in the Maghreb countries of North Africa,[13] where γ-sarcoglycanopathy has a higher than usual incidence. One common mutation, Δ-521T, which causes a severe phenotype, occurs both in the Maghreb population and in other countries.[12] A Cys283Tyr mutation has been identified in the Gypsy population causing a severe phenotype and a Leu193Ser mutation which causes a mild phenotype.[5][14]
