CAPN2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: CAPN2
  • Official Name: calpain 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 824
  • UniProt: P17655
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyzes limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction. Proteolytically cleaves MYOC at 'Arg-226' (PubMed:17650508). Proteolytically cleaves CPEB3 following neuronal stimulation which abolishes CPEB3 translational repressor activity, leading to translation of CPEB3 target mRNAs (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17650508}.
