Destabilization of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex without functional deficits in alpha-dystrobrevin null muscle.

Alpha-dystrobrevin is a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) and is thought to have both structural and signaling roles in skeletal muscle. Mice deficient for alpha-dystrobrevin (adbn(-/-)) exhibit extensive myofiber degeneration and neuromuscular junction abnormalities. However, t...
