Gamma-sarcoglycan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SGCG gene.[1][2]

Function

Gamma-sarcoglycan is one of several sarcolemmal transmembrane glycoproteins that interact with dystrophin, probably to provide a link between the membrane associated cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. Defects in the protein can lead to early onset autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, in particular limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C (LGMD2C).[2]

Interactions

SGCG has been shown to interact with FLNC.[3][4]
