Abstract excerpt
Intracellular proteolysis by the calpains, a family of Ca2+ activated cysteine proteases, is a ubiquitous yet poorly understood process. Their action is implicated in an array of cellular and pathologic processes, including long-term potentiation, synaptic remodeling, protein kinase C and steroid receptor activation, ischemic cellular injury, and apoptosis. Unlike most proteases, the calpains display unusually...
