FunFam 1: Calpain-1 catalytic subunit

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Calpain-2. [EC: 3.4.22.53]
Broad endopeptidase specificity.
  • Cytosolic in animal cells.
  • The active enzyme molecule is a heterodimer in which the large subunit contains the peptidase unit, and the small subunit is also a component of EC 3.4.22.52.
  • Belongs to peptidase family C2.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.22.17 and EC 3.4.24.5.

Calpain-3. [EC: 3.4.22.54]
Broad endopeptidase activity.
  • Activated by autoproteolytic cleavage of insertion sequence 1 (IS1), which allows substrates and inhibitors gain access to the active site.
  • Substrates include the protein itself and connectin/titin.
  • Belongs to peptidase family C2.
