Official gene symbolCAPNS1
Full namecalpain, small subunit 1
Aliases,30K,CALPAIN4,CANP,CANPS,CAPN4,CDPS,CSS1,
Gene summaryCalpains are a ubiquitous, well-conserved family of calcium-dependent, cysteine proteases. Calpain families have been implicated in neurodegenerative processes, as their activation can be triggered by calcium influx and oxidative stress. Calpain I and II are heterodimeric with distinct large subunits associated with common small subunits, all of which are encoded by different genes. This gene encodes a small subunit common to both calpain I and II and is associated with myotonic dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.
