Calpain C is a calcium-dependent cysteine endopeptidase found in Drosophila melanogaster; it hydrolyzes a broad spectrum of peptide bonds, participating in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction. Structurally it is a calpain-family papain-like cysteine protease with a calmodulin-like Ca2+-binding domain.
