Calpain 10

Definition:

EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.4 Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) > 3.4.22 Cysteine endopeptidases > 3.4.22.B30 calpain 10
Calpain 10 is a calpain-family cysteine protease found in viruses and cellular organisms, with broad endopeptidase specificity. It is a diabetes susceptibility gene involved in insulin secretion and mitochondrial function, and is expressed in pancreas, muscle and brain. In cells it participates in glucose homeostasis and stress response. It features a calpain-like catalytic domain with a C-terminal transmembrane region in some isoforms.
