Gene: Sgcg (sarcoglycan, gamma) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Sgcg
Name: sarcoglycan, gamma
RGD ID: 1359577
Description: Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle tissue development and heart contraction. Predicted to act upstream of or within gene expression. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. 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 2C and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SGCG (sarcoglycan gamma); PARTICIPATES IN arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy pathway; dilated cardiomyopathy pathway; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pathway; INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 6-propyl-2-thiouracil.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: gamma sarcoglycan; gamma-sarcoglycan; MGC94674; sarcoglycan, gamma (dystrophin-associated glycoprotein)
