General description
Dystrophin (DMD) is a submembranous cytoskeletal protein. It plays a major role in various processes of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles as well as of peripheral and central nervous systems, including the retina.
Immunogen
Dystrophin recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
In striated muscle cells, DMD (dystrophin) acts as a component of the multimeric protein dystrophin-associated glycoprotein (DGC) complex. It helps DGC to adhere with the extracellular matrix for various signalling pathways. It helps to maintain structural assembly of plasma membrane, regulates ion homeostasis and transmembrane signaling cascade. It stabilzes muscle fiber cells. It is associated with various muscular dystrophies, such as Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy and different forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The membrane cytoskeletal component dystrophin and its associated glycoproteins play a central role in the molecular pathogenesis of several muscular dystrophies, i.e. Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy and various forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

Dramatical development of molecular genetics has been disclosing the molecular mechanism of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). DMD gene product, dystrophin, is a submembranous cytoskeletal protein and many dystrophin-associated proteins (DAPs) have been identified, such as
