Abstract excerpt
CAPN3 (also called p94/calpain-3) is a skeletal muscle-specific calpain, an intracellular cysteine protease. Loss of CAPN3 protease activity and/or structural functions cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A). However, the precise mechanism of action of CAPN3 in skeletal muscles in vivo remains largely elusive. By studying the protein modifications that regulate CAPN3 activity, we found that CAPN3...
