Sgcd - sarcoglycan, delta

Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle tissue development and heart contraction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-mediated signaling; cardiac muscle cell contraction; and heart development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of sarcoglycan complex. Predicted to be active in sarcolemma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F; dilated cardiomyopathy 1L; and muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human SGCD (sarcoglycan delta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
