Description
Rabbit polyclonal to Calpain 5 - Domain III, large subunit
Specificity
Ab38942 binds to Calpain 5, recognizing both latent and active Calpain 5. It also binds to the reduced and non reduced protein. The antibody does not cross react with the other calpain family members (calpain 1, calpain 2, calpain 3, ncl 2, ncl 3, etc.).

Applications
Show applications key
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab38942 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
WB
Application notes
WB: A recommended starting concentration for Western blots is 1:1000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1:5000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Higher concentrations of antibody may be needed for samples from more distantly related species. When used against the reduced protein this antibody identifies bands at 73kD, 58kD, and a series of further cleaved active forms. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Target
Relevance
Calpain proteinases are defined currently as papain like neutral proteases that are calcium activated. Calpains 1 and 2 are composed of a large subunit, which is proteolytically active, and a small subunit (also called calpain 4), or enhancer protein, that is not proteolytically active. The other calpain proteins identified to date are not known to require a small subunit. Domains in the large subunit include the amino terminal domain I, the proteinase domain II, domain III, and the EF hand domain IV (Domain T in calpains 5 & 6). Calpain 5, also known as the human orthologue of TRA3, a C. elegans protein involved in sex determination, is located on chromosome 11 in humans, near calpain 1. Calpain 5 is an intracellular, calcium dependent cysteine protease. Calpain 5 domain T does not have the standard calpain EF hand domain for binding calcium, making it unclear whether it is calcium regulated. It is also unclear if calpain 5 plays any role in mammalian sex determination, since the enzyme is found in colon, kidney, liver and trachea and other tissues, as well as testis.
