EC 3.4.22.54     
Accepted name: calpain-3
Reaction: Broad endopeptidase activity
Other name(s): p94; calpain p94; CAPN3; muscle calpain; calpain 3; calcium-activated neutral proteinase 3; muscle-specific calcium-activated neutral protease 3; CANP 3; calpain L3
Comments: This Ca2+-dependent enzyme is found in skeletal muscle and is genetically linked to limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A [1,4]. The enzyme is activated by autoproteolytic cleavage of insertion sequence 1 (IS1), which allows substrates and inhibitors gain access to the active site [4]. Substrates include the protein itself [3,4] and connectin/titin [2,5]. Belongs in peptidase family C2.
