Disease relevance of Sgce

 

High impact information on Sgce

  • Overexpression of epsilon-SG in normal mice resulted in substitution of epsilon-SG for alpha-SG in the SG complex of skeletal muscle without any obvious abnormalities [2].
  • Several transgenic mouse lines that overexpress epsilon-SG in skeletal muscle were established [2].
  • Here we show that the epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (Sgce) and Zac1 (Lot1) are both paternally expressed imprinted genes [3].
  • 5. Sgce is located at the proximal end of mouse chromosome 6 and is a candidate gene for embryonic lethality associated with uniparental maternal inheritance of this region [3].
  • Recently, two imprinted genes, paternally expressed Sgce and maternally expressed Asb4, were identified in this region [4].
 

Biological context of Sgce

 

Anatomical context of Sgce

 

Other interactions of Sgce

  • Peg10, which is next to Sgce, shows complete paternal expression, like Sgce [4].
  • Thus, the goal of the present study was to investigate whether overexpression of epsilon-SG can compensate for dysfunction of alpha-SG [2].
