Summary: Enables calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; metal ion binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in several processes, including G1 to G0 transition involved in cell differentiation; positive regulation of satellite cell activation involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within sarcomere organization. Located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; heart; and musculature. Used to study autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy; autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A; and muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human CAPN3 (calpain 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
