The sarcoglycans are a family of transmembrane proteins (α β γ δ or ε) involved in the protein complex responsible for connecting the muscle fibre cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix preventing damage to the muscle fibre sarcolemma through shearing forces.The dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a membrane-spanning complex that links the interior cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix in muscle.
