CAPN1

Calpain-1 catalytic subunit is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The is_associated_with::calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular is_associated_with::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 1.

Interactions
CAPN1 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PSEN2.
