Role of dystrophin in airway smooth muscle phenotype, contraction and lung function.

Role of dystrophin in airway smooth muscle phenotype, contraction and lung function.

Dystrophin links the transmembrane dystrophin-glycoprotein complex to the actin cytoskeleton. We have shown that dystrophin-glycoprotein complex subunits are markers for airway smooth muscle phenotype maturation and together with caveolin-1, play an important role in calcium homeostasis. We tested i...
