A calpain (n; {EC number|3.4.22.52}, {EC number|3.4.22.53}) is a protein belonging to the family of calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases (proteolytic enzymes) expressed ubiquitously in mammals and many other organisms. Calpains constitute the C2 family of protease clan CA in the MEROPS database. The calpain proteolytic system includ...

Calcium-activated cytoplasmic proteases containing the EF-hand motif. Calpain I is activated by micromolar calcium, Calpain II by millimolar calcium. Calpain has two subunits, the larger (80 kD) has 4 domains one homologous with papain, one with calmodulin, the smaller (30 kD) has one domain homologous with calmodulin. First isolated from erythrocytes, but now described from other cells.
