Background
The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach-specific, and muscle-specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the large subunit of the ubiquitous enzyme, calpain 2. Multiple heterogeneous transcriptional start sites in the 5' UTR have been reported. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:Broad endopeptidase specificity.,cofactor:Binds 3 calcium ions.,enzyme regulation:Activated by 200-1000 micromolar concentrations of calcium and inhibited by calpastatin.,function:Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyze limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C2 family.,similarity:Contains 1 calpain catalytic domain.,similarity:Contains 3 EF-hand domains.,subcellular location:Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca(2+) binding.,subunit:Forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1).,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.,
