Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Located in striated muscle dense body. Expressed in anal depressor muscle; anal sphincter muscle; body wall musculature; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D; myoclonic dystonia 11; and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human SGCA (sarcoglycan alpha) and SGCE (sarcoglycan epsilon).
