E3 ubiquitin ligase. Mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of CKM, GMEB1 and HIBADH. Regulates the proteasomal degradation of muscle proteins under amino acid starvation, where muscle protein is catabolized to provide other organs with amino acids. Inhibits de novo skeletal muscle protein synthesis under amino acid starvation. Regulates proteasomal degradation of cardiac troponin I/TNNI3 and probably of other sarcomeric-associated proteins. May play a role in striated muscle atrophy and hypertrophy by regulating an anti-hypertrophic PKC-mediated signaling pathway. May regulate the organization of myofibrils through TTN in muscle cells.

Western blot analysis of MURF1 on different lysates with Rabbit anti-MURF1 antibody (HA723973) at 1/5,000 dilution.
Lane 1: SK-MEL-28 cell lysate (20 µg/Lane) Lane 2: Mouse skeletal muscle tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane) Lane 3: Mouse liver tissue lysate (negative) (40 µg/Lane) Lane 4: Mouse heart tissue lysate (40 µg/Lane)
Predicted band size: 40 kDa Observed band size: 40 kDa
Exposure time:1 minute 3 seconds; ECL: K1801;
4-20% SDS-PAGE gel.
Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA723973) at 1/5,000 dilution was used in primary antibody dilution (K1803) at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

Flow cytometric analysis of SK-MEL-28 cells labeling MURF1.
Cells were fixed and permeabilized. Then stained with the primary antibody (HA723973, 1/1,000) (red) compared with Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (green). After incubation of the primary antibody at +4℃ for an hour, the cells were stained with a iFluor™ 488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody (HA1121) at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at +4℃. Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).
MURF1 was immunoprecipitated from 0.2 mg SK-MEL-28 cell lysate with HA723973 at 2 µg/10 µl beads. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using HA723973 at 1/5,000 dilution. HRP Conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG for IP Nano-secondary antibody at 1/5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
