Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) can interact with calpastatin (CAST) and regulate CAST/calpain2, under excessive glutamate conditions, and subsequently regulate ...

The calpain/calpastatin system has opposing roles in growth and metastatic dissemination of melanoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Conventional calpains are ubiquitous cysteine proteases whose activity is promoted by calcium signaling and specifically limited by calpastatin. Calpain expression has been shown to be increased in human malignant cells, but the contribution of the ...

Polymorphism of the ovine calpastatin gene
Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2007 Calpastatin is a specific inhibitor of calpains and has been implicated in the regulation of beef tenderization. Variation in the ovine calpastatin gene (CAST) was investigated by amplification of a fragment containing the entire exon 6 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis and ...

Binding of calpain fragments to calpastatin
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1991 Their cDNA-derived amino acid sequences predict that the 80-kDa subunits of the micromolar and millimolar Ca(2+)-requiring forms of the Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase (mu- and m-calpain, respectively) each consist of four domains and that the 28-kDa subunit common to both mu- and m-calpain consists of two domains.

Study on genetic structure of CAST gene by PCR- SSCP method and its association with growth traits in lori-Bakhtiari sheep breed [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2014 In this study, a 254 bp fragment containing exon 6 and a part of introns 5 and 6 of ovine CAST gene were amplified in 169 Lori-Bakhtiari lamb from Lori-Bakhtiari sheep breeding station by polymerase chain reactions.
