Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an inhibitor or activator of the calcineurin subunit Aβ1 isoform (CnAβ1) and the production of a medicament for the treatment of skeletal muscle injury or degeneration or cancer in a subject. CnAβ1 is constitutively active, cyclosporin-insensitive, highly expressed in proliferating myoblasts and human tumors, where it inhibits FoxO transcription factors independently of its phosphatase activity. The CnAβ1 isoform is a candidate for interventional strategies in muscle wasting, and a target for cancer treatment.
