MA3-943 detects calpain-28 kDa subunit from bovine platelet, skeletal and heart muscle and human tissues. This antibody does not cross-react with the human 80 kDa m-calpain subunit.
MA3-943 has been successfully used in Western blot and immunofluorescence procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 28 kDa protein representing the 28 kDa subunit of calpain from bovine heart extract.
The MA3-943 antigen is purified bovine skeletal muscle 28 kDa calpain subunit.
Calpains are a ubiquitous, well-conserved family of calcium-dependent, cysteine proteases. Calpain families have been implicated in neurodegenerative processes, as their activation can be triggered by calcium influx and oxidative stress. Calpain I and II are heterodimeric with distinct large subunits associated with common small subunits, all of which are encoded by different genes. Calpain S1 is a small subunit common to both calpain I and II and is associated with myotonic dystrophy.
