In this article we will address the topic of SNTB2, which has been the subject of interest and debate for a long time. SNTB2 is a topic that has aroused the curiosity and fascination of many people, since its implications are broad and varied. Throughout history, SNTB2 has played a central role in important events and discoveries, impacting the lives of individuals and societies in different ways. In this article, we will explore the relevant dimensions and aspects of SNTB2, as well as its possible implications for the future.
Beta-2-syntrophin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SNTB2gene.[5][6][7]
Function
Dystrophin is a large, rod-like cytoskeletal protein found at the inner surface of muscle fibers. Dystrophin is missing in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients and is present in reduced amounts in Becker Muscular Dystrophy patients. The protein encoded by this gene is a peripheral membrane protein found associated with dystrophin and dystrophin-related proteins. This gene is a member of the syntrophin gene family, which contains at least two other structurally related genes.[7]
