Gene information for CAPN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID823
Official gene symbolCAPN1
Full namecalpain 1, (mu/I) large subunit
Aliases,CANP,CANP1,CANPL1,muCANP,muCL,
Gene summaryThe 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]
