The purpose of the current experiments was to more closely define the distribution and the function of calpain small subunit 2 (css2). Css2 is a newly discovered regulatory protein for the calcium activated proteases, mu- and m-calpains.Tissues from

Calpains are calcium-dependent intracellular nonlysosomal proteases that are believed to hydrolyze specific substrates important in calcium-regulated signaling pathways. Recently, an atypical member of the calpain family, calpain 10, was described, a

Much evidence has accumulated suggesting that activation of calpain causes neuronal cell death in ischemic brain. However, little is known about the involvement of calpain in retinal cell death in ischemic injury. Thus, the purpose of present study w

The purpose of the present experiments was to provide a biochemical mechanism for the involvement of lens-specific calpain Lp82 in experimental cataractogenesis in mice.Nuclear cataracts were produced by culturing lenses from 4-week-old mice and rats

Tissue damage resulting from ischemia due to myocardial infarction is thought to be intensified by the proteolytic action of endogenous enzymes. Calpain (calcium dependent cysteine protease) is considered to be a highly likely candidate, since it is

To clone and sequence the cDNA for Lp85 calpain from young rat lens, and to test for Lp85 protein expression and proteolytic activity.RT-PCR and molecular cloning were performed on total RNA from 12 day-old rats. Lp85 protein expression was visualize

To identify modifications to rat lens major intrinsic protein (MIP) isolated from selenite-induced cataract and to determine whether m-calpain (EC 3.4.22.17) is responsible for cleavage of MIP during cataractogenesis.Cataracts were induced in rats by
