* Information From OMIM

Text: Calpains are calcium-dependent cysteine proteases involved in signal transduction in a variety of cellular processes. A functional calpain protein consists of an invariant small subunit (OMIM:114170) and 1 of a family of large subunits. Dear et al. (1997) used degenerate PCR on mouse genomic DNA to isolate fragments of 2 novel calpains, CAPN5 (OMIM:602537) and CAPN6. The authors assembled a partial cDNA sequence of CAPN6 from several clones in an EST database. Dear et al. (1997) noted that CAPN5 and CAPN6 differ from previously identified vertebrate calpains in that they lack a calmodulin-like domain IV. CAPN6 may be an atypical calpain because it contains only 1 of the 3 conserved cysteine protease active site residues. By RNA dot blot and Northern blot analyses, Dear et al. (1997) found that CAPN6 is expressed as a 4.0-kb transcript predominantly in placenta.
