Mitochondrial dysfunction and consequences in calpain-3-deficient muscle [PDF]
Background Nonsense or loss-of-function mutations in the non-lysosomal cysteine protease calpain-3 result in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A).

The Role of Integrin β1D Mislocalization in the Pathophysiology of Calpain 3-Related Limb–Girdle Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) is characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness due to mutations in the CAPN3 gene. Little is known about CAPN3’s function in muscle, but its loss results in aberrant sarcomere formation.

Calpain 3 is important for muscle regeneration: Evidence from patients with limb girdle muscular dystrophies [PDF]
Background Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2A is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene and complete lack of functional calpain 3 leads to the most severe muscle wasting.

Calpains are a class of non-lysosomal cysteine proteases that exert their regulatory functions via limited proteolysis of their substrates. Similar to the lysosomal and proteasomal systems, calpain dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of ...

Case report: A single novel calpain 3 gene variant associated with mild myopathy [PDF]
Recessively inherited limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1, caused by mutations in the calpain 3 gene, is the most common limb-girdle muscular dystrophy worldwide. Recently, cases of autosomal dominant calpainopathy have been described.

Human calpain-3 and its structural plasticity: Dissociation of a homohexamer into dimers on binding titin. [PDF]
Calpain-3 is an intracellular Ca2+-dependent cysteine protease abundant in skeletal muscle. Loss-of-function mutations in its single-copy gene cause a dystrophy of the limb-girdle muscles.

Titin splicing regulates cardiotoxicity associated with calpain 3 gene therapy for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. [PDF]
International audienceLimb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A or LGMDR1) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the calpain 3 gene (CAPN3). Previous experiments using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-mediated calpain 3 gene transfer

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.
