SGCD Antibody / Sarcoglycan Family Protein Antibody, clone AbS97, recognizes sarcoglycan delta (SGCD), a transmembrane glycoprotein that is an essential component of the sarcoglycan complex within the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. This multiprotein assembly links the intracellular cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix, helping stabilize the muscle cell membrane during repeated cycles of contraction and relaxation. SGCD is expressed primarily in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, where it contributes to membrane integrity and normal muscle function. As a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone AbS97 provides a highly specific reagent for investigating SGCD expression in muscle biology and disease research.
The sarcoglycan complex consists of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta sarcoglycans, which assemble into a tightly associated membrane complex that functions together with dystrophin and other dystrophin-associated proteins. Loss or dysfunction of any sarcoglycan component can destabilize the entire complex, increasing membrane fragility and promoting muscle fiber degeneration. Because SGCD plays a structural role within this protein network, it has become an important target for studies examining muscle development, membrane organization, mechanotransduction, and maintenance of skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. An SGCD Antibody enables researchers to evaluate protein localization, expression patterns, and alterations in experimental models of muscle disease.
Pathogenic variants in SGCD are associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, resulting in progressive skeletal muscle weakness and, in some patients, cardiomyopathy. Deficiency of SGCD disrupts assembly of the sarcoglycan complex and compromises the stability of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex, leading to increased susceptibility to contraction-induced muscle injury. Consequently, SGCD is widely investigated in studies of inherited muscular dystrophies, cardiac muscle disorders, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring sarcolemmal integrity. SGCD Antibody is also valuable for evaluating the effects of gene replacement, genome editing, and other experimental interventions designed to preserve muscle function.
In laboratory research, SGCD expression is commonly analyzed by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and related protein detection methods to characterize muscle tissues and experimental disease models. Because of its highly restricted muscle expression, skeletal and cardiac muscle are frequently used as positive control tissues for assay development and validation. An SGCD Antibody is a valuable research tool for detecting endogenous SGCD expression and investigating sarcoglycan biology, muscle membrane stability, dystrophin-associated protein complexes, muscular dystrophy, and skeletal and cardiac muscle physiology.
Optimal dilution of the SGCD Antibody / Sarcoglycan Family Protein Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthesized peptide derived from human Sarcoglycan delta protein was used as the immunogen for the SGCD Antibody.
Store the SGCD Antibody at -20oC for one year, or at 4oC for one month.
