EC 3.4.22.53     
Accepted name: calpain-2
Reaction: Broad endopeptidase specificity
Other name(s): calcium-activated neutral protease II; m-calpain; milli-calpain
Comments: Type example of peptidase family C2. Requires Ca2+ at millimolar concentrations for activity. Cytosolic in animal cells. The active enzyme molecule is a heterodimer in which the large subunit contains the peptidase unit, and the small subunit is also a component of EC 3.4.22.52, calpain-1.
