DATASHEET  

Atrogin-1/Muscle Atrophy F-box (MAFbx) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates proteolysis events that occur during muscle atrophy. This ATP-dependent ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis occurs in response to a variety of catabolic states in muscle. Atrogin is expressed in heart and skeletal muscle, and is upregulated during muscle atrophy. In addition, Atrogin expression increases in C2C12 myotubes after stimulation with cytokines. Atrogin is thought to recognize and bind to some phosphorylated proteins and promote their ubiquitination and degradation during skeletal muscle atrophy. Atrogin interacts with MyoD by ubiquitination via a sequence found in transcriptional coactivators and therefore may play an important role in the course of muscle differentiation by determining the abundance of MyoD. Mice deficient in Atrogin are resistant to muscle atrophy.

Western blot image of mouse gastrocnemius (lanes 1 & 3) and mouse diagphram tissue lysate (lanes 2 & 4). The blot was probed with anti-Atrogin-1 (AP2041; lanes 1-4) in the presence (lanes 3 & 4) or absence (lanes 1 & 2) of Atrogin-1 peptide (AX2045).

Formalin fixed, citric acid treated parafin sections of E16 mouse skeletal muscle. Sections were probed with anti-Atrogin-1 (AP2041) then anti-Rabbit:HRP before detection using DAB. (Images provided by Carl Hobbs and Dr. Pat Doherty at Wolfson Centre for Age-Related Diseases, King's College London).



A synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponding to amino acids 23 to 35 in mouse Atrogin. This sequence is highly homologous to human and rat Atrogin (F-box only protein 32).

This antibody detects a 41 kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of Atrogin on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse muscle tissue lysates. Similar results were seen in C2C12 cell lysate and the band observed in western blot is specifically blocked by Atrogin-1 peptide (AX2045).

*All molecular weights (MW) are confirmed by comparison to Bio-Rad Rainbow Markers and to western blot mobilities of known proteins with similar MW.
