Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an endogenous calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease) inhibitor. It consists of an N-terminal domain L and four repetitive calpain-inhibition domains (domains 1-4), and it is involved in the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein. The calpain/calpastatin system is involved in numerous membrane fusion events, such as neural vesicle exocytosis and platelet and red-cell aggregation. The encoded protein is also thought to affect the expression levels of genes encoding structural or regulatory proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

  2. NM_173062.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_173062.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript and the protein.
  3. NM_173063.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_173063.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript.
  4. NR_033798.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
