Sgcg - sarcoglycan, gamma (dystrophin-associated glycoprotein)

Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle tissue development and heart contraction. Predicted to act upstream of or within membrane organization. Located in sarcolemma. Part of sarcoglycan complex. Is expressed in cap mesenchyme; nephrogenic interstitium; tongue; and vertebral axis musculature. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SGCG (sarcoglycan gamma).
