Mouse Calpain I (large subunit, p80) Monoclonal Antibody | anti-CAPN1 antibody
Calpain I (large subunit, p80)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular 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. Several transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
Uniprot Description
Function: Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyze limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction.
Catalytic activity: Broad endopeptidase specificity.
Cofactor: Binds 4 calcium ions.
Enzyme regulation: Activated by micromolar concentrations of calcium and inhibited by calpastatin.
Subunit structure: Forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Note: Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca2+ binding. Ref.7
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modification: Undergoes calcium-induced successive autoproteolytic cleavages that generate a membrane-bound 78 kDa active form and an intracellular 75 kDa active form. Calpastatin reduces with high efficiency the transition from 78 kDa to 75 kDa calpain forms.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the peptidase C2 family.Contains 1 calpain catalytic domain.Contains 4 EF-hand domains.

Product Notes
The CAPN1 capn1 (Catalog #AAA395252) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Calpain I (large subunit, p80) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Calpain I (large subunit, p80) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CAPN1 capn1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Calpain I (large subunit, p80), Monoclonal Antibody" 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
