Gene: CAPN5
Alternate names for this Gene: ADNIV|HTRA3|VRNI|nCL-3
Gene Summary: Calpains are calcium-dependent cysteine proteases involved in signal transduction in a variety of cellular processes. A functional calpain protein consists of an invariant small subunit and 1 of a family of large subunits. CAPN5 is one of the large subunits. Unlike some of the calpains, CAPN5 and CAPN6 lack a calmodulin-like domain IV. Because of the significant similarity to Caenorhabditis elegans sex determination gene tra-3, CAPN5 is also called as HTRA3.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q13.5
Description of this Gene: calpain 5
