UniProt functional annotation for P12675



	UniProt functional annotation for P12675

UniProt code: P12675.

Organism: Sus scrofa (Pig).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Suina; Suidae; Sus.

Function: Specific inhibition of calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease). Plays a key role in postmortem tenderization of meat and have been proposed to be involved in muscle protein degradation in living tissue.

Domain: Each of the four flexible inhibitory domains can inhibit one calcium-bound calpain molecule by occupying both sides of the active site. {ECO:0000250}.

Similarity: Belongs to the protease inhibitor I27 (calpastatin) family. {ECO:0000305}.
