Localization of Calpain 3 in Human Skeletal Muscle and Its Alteration in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2A Muscle
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Calpain 3/p94, the skeletal muscle-specific isoform of the calpain large subunit family, is a protein product of the gene responsible for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A). Through yeast two-hybrid experiments, calpain 3 has been shown to bind to titin in myofibrils [Sorimachi et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 31158-31162]. However, because of extensive autolysis activity, calpain 3 localization in...
