Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by frameshift mutations in the DMD gene
that prevent the body-wide translation of its protein product, dystrophin. Besides a severe …

Dystrophin Dp71 is expressed in all tissues, with the exception of skeletal muscle, and is the
main Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene product in brain. As full-length dystrophin …

Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) protein is a tumor suppressor that inhibits translation
through the mTOR-dependent initiation factor EIF4A, but its functional role and mRNA …

Multiple dystrophin Dp71 isoforms have been identified in rats, mice, and humans and in
several cell line models. These Dp71 isoforms are produced by the alternative splicing of …

Dystrophin is an essential component in the assembly and maintenance of the dystrophin-
associated protein complex (DAPC), which includes members of the dystroglycan …

Background: Dp71 is the most abundant dystrophin (DMD) gene product in the nervous
system. Mutation in the Dp71 coding region is associated with cognitive disturbances in …

Dp40 is ubiquitously expressed including the central nervous system. In addition to being
present in the nucleus, membrane, and cytoplasm, Dp40 is detected in neurites and …

The function of dystrophin Dp71 in neuronal cells remains to be established. Previously, we
revealed the involvement of this protein in both nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neuronal …

Understanding retinal vascular development is crucial because many retinal vascular
diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (in adults) or retinopathy of prematurity (in children) …

Dp71 expression is present in myoblasts but declines during myogenesis to avoid interfering
with the function of dystrophin, the predominant Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene product …
