Gene:
calpain, small subunit 2
Gene ID:
196925
Symbol:
CAPNS2
Species:
1000
Description:
Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyzes limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodelling and signal tranduction. This small subunit may act as a tissue-specific chaperone of the large subunit, possibly by helping it fold into its correct conformation for activity.
