General description

Calpains are calcium-dependent cysteine proteases that are expressed ubiquitously in eukaryotes. Calpains regulate diverse cellular processes such as development, apoptosis and signal transduction . Calpain-2 has been implicated in the development of synaptic plasticity and cataract . Anti-Calpain-2 is specific for the large subunit of calpain-2 in humans, mice and rats. The antibody does not bind to other members of the calpain protein family.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the large subunit of human calpain II (m-calpain, Clpn02, calpain-2).

Application

Anti-Calpain-2, Large Subunit antibody is suitable for use in western blot (1:1000) and immunoblot (80kDa and 58kDa).
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 50% glycerol, 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.02% sodium azide.

The calpain family is named for the calcium dependence of the papain-like, thiol protease activity of the well-studied ubiquitous vertebrate enzymes calpain-1 (mu-calpain) and calpain-2 (m-calpain). Proteins showing sequence relatedness to the catalytic core domains of these enzymes are included

Retinitis pigmentosa is a heterogeneous group of inherited retinal dystrophies in which the loss of photoreceptor cells via apoptosis leads to blindness. In this study we have experimentally mimicked this condition by treating 661W cells and wild-type mouse retinal explants

Calpain-3 (CAPN3) is a muscle-specific member of the calpain family of Ca2+-dependent proteases. It has been reported that CAPN3 can also be autolytically activated by Na+ ions in the absence of Ca2+, although this was only shown under non-physiological ionic

The family of calcium-dependent neutral proteases, calpains, was discovered more than 30 years ago, but their functional roles in the nervous system under physiological or pathological conditions still remain unclear. Although calpain was proposed to participate in synaptic plasticity and

Globally, cataract accounts for the majority of cases of treatable blindness and the lens opacification associated with cataract is primarily due to the insolubilisation of crystallins, proteins essential for the transparency of the lens. Recent studies have suggested that a
