It is not surprising that the protein/gene information is missing from
DBpedia. Looking at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dystroglycan&action=edit
it seems like this information is not held in the source of the wiki page.
Maybe someone with better knowledge about Mediawiki could explain how this
works and how the information could be harvested by DBpedia? I am planning
to write a documentation for the DBpedia developers that could help them
improve the representation of biomedical wiki entries in DBpedia (such as
creating direct links to the URIs of Uniprot-RDF). This could also be a
helpful addition.

When Francois Belleau was investigating integrating the infobox
information into Bio2RDF he found that the infoboxes were missing in
the dbpedia database. Not sure if that changed since he last checked.
It would be very valuable to have the information from infoboxes and
the gene-wiki templates in dbpedia. Might need to do a custom parser
for the gene-wiki templates if they aren't similar to infoboxes.

According to http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets#h18-11, DBpedia contains
data
extracted from infoboxes (which should include gene/protein infoboxes).

What about DBpedia (http://dbpedia.org)?
