Dystrobrevin alphais aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theDTNAgene.[5][6][7]

Function

[edit]

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to thedystrobrevinsubfamily and thedystrophinfamily. This protein is a component of thedystrophin-associated protein complex(DPC). The DPC consists of dystrophin and several integral and peripheral membrane proteins, includingdystroglycans,sarcoglycans,syntrophinsand alpha- and beta-dystrobrevin. The DPC localizes to the sarcolemma and its disruption is associated with various forms ofmuscular dystrophy.This protein may be involved in the formation and stability ofsynapsesas well as the clustering ofnicotinic acetylcholine receptors.Multiplealternatively splicedtranscript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[7]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Mutations inDTNAare associated withMénière's disease.[8][9]

Interactions

[edit]

Dystrobrevin has been shown tointeractwith dystrophin.[10]
