XCL-2 is a novel m-type calpain and disrupts morphogenetic movements during embryogenesis in Xenopus laevis.

Development, growth & differentiation - 1 Oct 2001

Cao Y, Zhao H, Grunz H

Abstract excerpt

We identified a novel cDNA, XCL-2, encoding an m-type calpain, a calcium-dependent intracellular protease. This protein has all characteristic structures and active sites of canonical calpains. Zygotic transcription of the gene was first detected at stage 10. It is expressed exclusively in the ventral circumblastoporal collar and the mesoderm-free zone at the most anterior tip of neural fold in late gastrulae and...
