| Research Abstract |
Dysferlin is involved in plasma membrane repair in skeletal muscle, and mutations in the dysferlin gene cause muscular dystrophy(Miyoshi Myopathy and LGMD2B). We examined the possibility whether dysferlin-binding protein(MG53, caveolin-3 and affixin/β-parvin) particioate in sarcolemmal repair by membrane-repair assay using two-photon laser microscope. We found that MG53 and affixin accumulate at the wounded site of sarcolemma. This result suggests the involvement of MG53 and affixin in sarcolemmal repair.
