Alpha-1-Syntrophin

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Alpha-1-syntrophin (505 aa, ~54 kDa) is encoded by the human SNTA1 gene. This protein is involved in the formation of protein scaffolds coupling the actin cytoskeleton to the dystrophin-associated protein complex and to certain receptors and sodium channel proteins in the plasma membrane.
