dystroglycan

dystroglycan
dys·tro·gly·can (dis″tro-gliґkan) a protein complex that plays a role as a link between cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix, binding dystrophin, utrophin, or both where present; it comprises α and β subunits, which are derived from a single transcript by posttranslational processing, and is widely expressed. In skeletal muscle, it occurs as a subcomplex of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, binding both dystrophin and laminin.
