The Dystrophin-Associated Protein Complex (DAPC), known as the Dystrophin–Glycoprotein Complex (DGC), comprises an array of glycoproteins that are essential for the normal function of striated muscle, in which they were first described, and for many other tissues, including blood. Understanding the role that these molecules play in muscle function has increased over the last decade, and some of the knowledge derived can be applied to other biological systems. However, there is no doubt that to date, some progress has been achieved in blood cells.
