ID:CAN1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Calpain-1 catalytic subunit; EC=3.4.22.52; AltName: Full=Calcium-activated neutral proteinase 1; Short=CANP 1; AltName: Full=Calpain mu-type; AltName: Full=Calpain-1 large subunit; AltName: Full=Cell proliferation-inducing gene 30 protein; AltName: Full=Micromolar-calpain; Short=muCANP; 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: Forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1). INTERACTION: P40763:STAT3; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1542113, EBI-518675; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Note=Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca(2+) binding. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. PTM: 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. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 calpain catalytic domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 EF-hand domains.
