Gene Summary
- Human (823): 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 1. [provided by RefSeq]
- Rat (29153): calcium-dependent protease that may be involved in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) [RGD]
