Dystrophin, also known as DMD, is a rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein, and a vital part of a protein complex that connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to the surrounding extracellular matrix through the cell membrane. It is mapped to Xp21.2-p21.1. This complex is variously known as the costamere or thedystrophin-associated protein complex. Many muscle proteins, such as I+/--dystrobrevin, syncoilin, synemin, sarcoglycan, dystroglycan, and sarcospan, colocalize with dystrophin at the costamere. Dystrophin is a protein located between the sarcolemma and the outermost layer of myofilaments in the muscle fiber (myofiber). It is a cohesive protein, linking actin filaments to another support protein that resides on the inside surface of each muscle fibera€s plasma membrane (sarcolemma).
