Sgcd Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-mediated signaling; cardiac muscle cell contraction; and heart development. Located in sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Part of sarcoglycan complex. Is expressed in brain; dentate gyrus subgranular zone; mandible; and maxilla. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2F and dilated cardiomyopathy 1L. 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, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sgcd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
