Abstract excerpt
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by dysfunction of calpain-3 (CAPN3; also known as p94), a muscle-specific, Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease. LGMDR1 mutations are distributed throughout the Capn3 gene. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the biochemical and biological properties of individual LGMDR1 mutants is limited, hindering a full understanding of LGMDR1...
