Product Specifications

Background

Alpha-sarcoglycan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SGCA gene. This gene encodes a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which is critical to the stability of muscle fiber membranes and to the linking of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Its expression is thought to be restricted to striated muscle. Mutations in this gene result in type 2D autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human SGCA recombinant protein (Position: Q24-H387). Human SGCA shares 90.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse SGCA.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Most strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. Also expressed in cardiac muscle and, at much lower levels, in lung. In the fetus, most abundant in cardiac muscle and, at lower levels, in lung. Also detected in liver and kidney. Not expressed in brain.
