Anti-Beta Sarcoglycan/SGCB Antibody Picoband®

This gene encodes a member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex which help stabilize the muscle fiber membranes and link the muscle cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Mutations in this gene have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

E.coli-derived human Beta Sarcoglycan/SGCB recombinant protein (Position: E101-H318) . Human Beta Sarcoglycan/SGCB shares 95.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse Beta Sarcoglycan/SGCB.
