The function of ENSG00000198947 (DMD, dystrophin) is as follows. Anchors the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton via F- actin. Ligand for dystroglycan. Component of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex which accumulates at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and at a variety of synapses in the peripheral and central nervous systems and has a structural function in stabilizing the sarcolemma. Also implicated in signaling events and synaptic transmission. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16710609}.
