Abstract

Disclosed are a protein molecular marker Dkk-3 protein associated with age-related muscle atrophy and the use thereof in the diagnosis of age-related muscle atrophy. The expression level of the Dkk-3 protein in amyotrophic cells is significantly higher than that in normal myocytes or tissues, and thus the Dkk-3 protein can be used as an effective marker for the detection of age-related muscle atrophy.
