| UniProt functional annotation for P17655 | |||
| UniProt code: P17655. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Calcium-regulated non-lysosomal thiol-protease which catalyzes limited proteolysis of substrates involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction. Proteolytically cleaves MYOC at 'Arg-226' (PubMed:17650508). Proteolytically cleaves CPEB3 following neuronal stimulation which abolishes CPEB3 translational repressor activity, leading to translation of CPEB3 target mRNAs (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17650508}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Broad endopeptidase specificity.; EC=3.4.22.53; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 7 Ca(2+) ions. {ECO:0000250}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Activated by 200-1000 micromolar concentrations of calcium and inhibited by calpastatin. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a heterodimer with a small (regulatory) subunit (CAPNS1). Interacts with CPEB3; this leads to cleavage of CPEB3. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O08529, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07009}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Note=Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca(2+) binding. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Ubiquitous. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase C2 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAH07686.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAH11828.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
