Calpain small subunit 1 (Capns1) is a small regulatory subunit associated with the μ-calpain (calpain 1) and m-calpain (calpain 2). The CAPNS1 gene is mapped to human chromosome 19q13.12.
Immunogen
purified calpain from human placenta.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-m/μ Calpain, Small Subunit antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Calpain small subunit 1 (Capns1) participates in the actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and cell migration events. It is crucial for embryonic development. Capns1 interacts with the Ras GTPase activating protein Src homology 3 domain (SH3) (RasGAP-SH3) domain to regulate cell migration and cell survival. It is essential for calpain activity. Capns1 is associated with the oncogenesis of many tumor types including hepatocellular, colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancer.

The calpain family is a group of cysteine proteases unique in their dependency on calcium to attain functionally active forms. Calpains are involved in a wide range of cellular calcium-regulated functions, including signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation, and apoptosis.
Capn4, a small regulatory subunit of the calpain proteolytic system, functions as a potential tumor promoter in several cancers. However, the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of Capn4 in gastric cancer (GC) remain poorly understood. In the current study, we
Ras GTPase-activating protein (RasGAP) is hypothesized to be an effector of oncogenic Ras stimulating numerous downstream cellular signaling cascades involved in survival, proliferation and motility. In this study, we identified calpain small subunit-1 (Capns1) as a new RasGAP-SH3 domain binding
