Target Details for Calpain 2

Target: Calpain 2 (CAPN2)

Alternative Name: CAPN2

Background:

Synonyms: Calpain-2 catalytic subunit, Calcium-activated neutral proteinase 2, CANP 2, Calpain M-type, Calpain large polypeptide L2, Calpain-2 large subunit, Millimolar-calpain, M-calpain, CAPN2, CANPL2

Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous.

Background: Calpain-2 catalytic subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN2 gene. 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.

Molecular Weight: 80 kDa
