Target intelligence / Profile preview

Utrophin (UTRN)

Target
UTRN
Molecular classification
Cytoskeletal protein
01

Overview

Utrophin is a cytoskeletal protein structurally and functionally similar to dystrophin. It anchors the cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane and is upregulated in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) as a compensatory mechanism. Therapeutic strategies aim to further upregulate utrophin to stabilize muscle cell membranes in the absence of functional dystrophin.
