Anti-Calpain 3/CAPN3 Antibody Picoband®

Calpain-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN3 gene. Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed.

E.coli-derived human Calpain 3/CAPN3 recombinant protein (Position: I42-D764) . Human CAPN3 shares 93.5% and 94.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CAPN3, respectively.
