NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
CAPN3: Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease. Defects in CAPN3 are the cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A). LGMD2A is an autosomal recessive degenerative myopathy characterized by progressive symmetrical atrophy and weakness of the proximal limb muscles and elevated serum creatine kinase. The symptoms usually begin during the first two decades of life, and the disease gradually worsens, often resulting in loss of walking ability 10 or 20 years after onset. Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human CAPN3 capn3 (Catalog #AAA7223745) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7223745 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CAPN3. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Calpain 3 (CAPN3), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
