General description
Native calpain-1 from human erythrocytes. Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteinase with low Ca2+ requirement (half-maximal activation = 2 µM). Participates in the ATP release reaction of platelets stimulated with thrombin.
Packaging
Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.
Warning
Toxicity: Harmful (C)
Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1 pmol Suc-LLVY-AMC in 1 min, 25°C using the Calpain Activity Assay Kit, Fluorogenic (Cat. No. QIA120). Note: 1 caseinolytic unit = 1 fluorogenic unit.
Physical form
In 20 mM imidazole, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 30% glycerol, pH 6.8.
Preparation Note
Prepared from blood that has been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.
Reconstitution
Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
Analysis Note
Comparable to reference lot by SDS-PAGE

Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) is a high-affinity, low-capacity Ca(2+)-binding protein expressed in many cell types. We previously showed that NCS-1 interacts with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) and modulates Ca(2+)-signaling by enhancing InsP3-dependent InsP(3)R channel activity and intracellular Ca(2+) transients. Recently

Endogenous fragments of p53 protein were identified in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected human lung fibroblasts, particularly a 44-kDa N-terminal fragment [hereafter referred to as p53(ΔCp44)], generated via calpain cleavage. The fragment abundance increased in a biphasic manner, peaking at 6-9 hours and
