Role of Dystroglycan in Myoblast Adhesion

Dystroglycan is a ubiquitously expressed cellular adhesion protein, linking the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Previous studies have shown dystroglycan to be important in maintaining the mechanical integrity of cells, as well as functioning as a scaffold for the convergence of vario...
