Calpain mediates epithelial cell microvillar effacement by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 A member of the attaching and effacing (AE) family of pathogens, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) induces dramatic changes to the intestinal cell cytoskeleton, including effacement of microvilli.

Short communication: Analysis of polymorphisms in candidate’s genes for meat quality in Lidia cattle
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016 The aim of this paper was to analyze the segregation of some polymorphisms in three genes (CAPN1, CAST and DGAT1) related to meat quality in the Lidia cattle breed and some of its main lineages.

Formation of the calpain-1/calpastatin complex promotes activation of calpain-1 under oxidizing conditions. [PDF]
J Anim SciCalpains are cysteine proteinases responsible for many biological roles in muscle, including protein degradation, muscle growth, and myoblast fusion. Calpains are inhibited by calpastatin, an endogenous inhibitor. Other factors, such as variations in pH,

PEST sequences in the malaria parasite
Malaria Journal, 2003 Background Inhibitors of the protease calpain are known to have selectively toxic effects on Plasmodium falciparum. The enzyme has a natural inhibitor calpastatin and in eukaryotes is responsible for turnover of proteins containing short sequences ...

Genetic Variation of Calpastation Gene of Indigenous Bali Cattle (Bos javanicus) in Indonesia
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2019 Calpastatin is one of gene markers affecting meat tenderness. The study aimed to evaluate genetic variation of calpastatin (CAST) gene of Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) in lndonesia.

Polymorphism in the ovine calpastatin gene
, 1994 There is evidence that variation in the calpastatin gene exists among breeds of cattle. It has been suggested that such variation contributes to differences in muscle growth and postmortem conditioning of meat.

Genotypic frequency of calpastatin gene [PDF]
, 2011 -The effect of Calpains gene polymorphism on the analyzed meat quality traits are discussed in detail in another paper. Calpastatin is a natural occurring inhibitor of calpains and consequently the balance of calpain-calpastatin activity in muscles is ...
