other info1 :
Biological Significance: Calpastatin, a specific endogenous inhibitor of calpain, has a predicted molecular weight of ~77 kDa and an internal repeat of four homologous domains which allow it to inhibit multiple calpain molecules simultaneously. It functions by binding to calpain when calpain binds calcium.
other info2 :
Biohazard Information: This product contains sodium azide as preservative. Although the amount of sodium azide is very small appropriate care must be taken when handling this product. Immunogen: Calpastatin antibody was raised in mouse using bovine skeletal muscle calpastatin as the immunogen.

uniprot summary :
calpastatin: 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. Belongs to the protease inhibitor I27 (calpastatin) family. 7 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Inhibitor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q15. Cellular Component: membrane; cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; endopeptidase inhibitor activity; cysteine protease inhibitor activity. Disease: Peeling Skin With Leukonychia, Acral Punctate Keratoses, Cheilitis, And Knuckle Pads
