ATXN2 degron   Click here for help

GtoPdb Ligand ID: 14454

Compound class: Peptide
Comment: This is a fatty acid-modified peptide that acts as a degron (promotes degradation) of the ataxin 2 (ATXN2) protein [1].
Bioactivity Comments
The C20 fatty acid (lipid) modification generates a degron with longer-persisiting degrading activity, whereas the C16 modified peptide acheives a greater reduction in ATXN2 levels at lower doses [1]. Degron-mediated ATXN2 reduction improves survival and motor function in a mouse ALS model.
