Syntrophin (alpha-1) is a peripheral membrane protein located at the neuromuscular junction. Syntrophin (alpha-1) is expressed at high levels in skeletal muscle and heart, and at lower levels in brain, pancreas, liver, kidney and lung. It is an adaptor protein which is thought to bind and organise the subcellular localisation of membrane proteins such as utrophin and acetylcholine receptor. Syntrophin (alpha-1) also binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, it may link various receptors to the dystrophin glycoprotein complex and the actin cytoskeleton.
