calpain-1 catalytic [large] subunit (calpain large polypeptide L1, CAPN1)

Function: - Ca+2-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease - catalyzes limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling & signal transduction - forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1) - activated by micromolar concentrations of Ca+2 - inhibited by calpastatin - broad endopeptidase specificity Cofactor: binds 3 Ca+2 Structure: - belongs to the peptidase C2 family - contains 1 calpain catalytic domain - contains 4 EF-hand domains Compartment: - cytoplasm (putative) - cell membrane - translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca+2 binding (putative) Expression: ubiquitous
