Expressed in a variety of fetal and adult tissues. In epidermal tissue, located to the basement membrane. Also expressed in keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
[Alpha-dystroglycan]: Secreted, extracellular space.; [Beta-dystroglycan]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Cell membrane, sarcolemma. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane. The monomeric form translocates to the nucleus via the action of importins and depends on RAN. Nuclear transport is inhibited by Tyr-892 phosphorylation. In skeletal muscle, this phosphorylated form locates to a vesicular internal membrane compartment. In muscle cells, sarcolemma localization requires the presence of ANK2, while localization to
