ISPD Overexpression Enhances Ribitol-Induced Glycosylation of α-Dystroglycan in Dystrophic FKRP Mutant Mice

Dystroglycanopathy, a subgroup of muscular dystrophies, is characterized by hypoglycosylation of α-dystroglycan (α-DG), which reduces its laminin-binding activity to extracellular matrix proteins, causing progressive loss of muscle integrity and function. Mutations in the fukutin-related protein (FK...
