Utrophin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UTRN gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the cytoskeleton. Utrophin was found during research into Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy. The name is a contraction for ubiquitous dystrophin. The 900 kb gene for utrophin is found on the long arm of human chromosome 6. Utrophin was discovered due to its homology with dystrophin.
