DSTNP2
Description
The DSTNP2 (DSTN pseudogene 2) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 12.
DSTNP2 is a gene that encodes a protein called Dystrophin-associated protein 2. This protein is a component of the dystrophin-associated protein complex, which is associated with the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers. The complex is thought to be involved in maintaining the structural integrity of muscle fibers and in transmitting force from the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been linked to muscular dystrophy.
DSTNP2 (Dystrophin-associated protein 2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DSTNP2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the dystrophin-associated protein complex, which is a group of proteins that are associated with the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers. This complex is thought to play a role in maintaining the structural integrity of muscle fibers and in transmitting force from the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in the DSTNP2 gene have been associated with muscular dystrophy. This gene is expressed primarily in skeletal muscle.
DSTNP2 is also known as -.
