| Name: | dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | DGC, dystrophin glycoprotein complex |
| Definition: | A multiprotein complex that forms a strong mechanical link between the cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix; typical of, but not confined to, muscle cells. The complex is composed of transmembrane, cytoplasmic, and extracellular proteins, including dystrophin, sarcoglycans, dystroglycan, dystrobrevins, syntrophins, sarcospan, caveolin-3, and NO synthase. |
