摘要: Abstract We have previously reported a dystrophin-related locus (DMDL for Duchenne muscular dystrophy-like) on human chromosome 6 that maps close to the dy mutation mouse 10. Here we show this gene is expressed in wide range of tissues at varying levels. The transcript particularly abundant several fetal tissues, including heart, placenta, and intestine. Studies with antisera raised against DMDL fusion protein identify 400,000 Mr all tested, those mdx mice. Unlike dystrophin gene, not differentially spliced 3' end either muscle or brain.
