NCBI Summary for CAST

The protein encoded by this gene is an endogenous calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease) inhibitor. It consists of an N-terminal domain L and four repetitive calpain-inhibition domains (domains 1-4), and it is involved in the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein. The calpain/calpastatin system is involved in numerous membrane fusion events, such as neural vesicle exocytosis and platelet and red-cell aggregation. The encoded protein is also thought to affect the expression levels of genes encoding structural or regulatory proteins. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length natures of only some have been determined. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProt Comments for CAST

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.

Research Articles on CAST

1. recruitment of calpastatin into aggregates allows translocation and activation of protease to the membranes; on the contrary, the presence of large amounts of calpastatin in the cytosol prevents both processes, protecting the cell from proteolysis
2. Observational study and genome-wide association study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
3. Proof of concept that the calpastatin-based reagents may be useful to selectively detect the active conformation of calpain.
4. genetically determined IL-1alpha levels may modulate transcription of calpain and calpastatin
5. Role of the calpain-calpastatin system in the density-dependent growth arrest.
6. c-Myc regulates calpain activity through calpastatin; apoptosis induced by calpain inhibition is dependent on c-Myc, and calpastatin knockdown promotes transformation in c-Myc-negative cells
7. NMR data of calapastin tripartite binding mode to capain induced by calcium were presented.
8. performed a full NMR assignment of hCSD1 to characterize it in its solution state
9. Results suggest a regulation on the calpain-calpastatin expression response to muscle damaging eccentric exercise, but not concentric exercise.
10. Genome-wide association study of gene-disease association and pharmacogenomic / toxicogenomic. (HuGE Navigator)
11. Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
12. The activity of calpain in human peripheral blood lymphocytes, was estimated by assessing the levels of limited proteolysis of calpastatin.
13. CS(L) modulates Ca2+-channel activity through interacting with the calmodulin-binding site on the C-terminal tail of the Cav1.2 channel.
14. involved in the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein, which is thought to be abnormal in patients with Alzheimer's disease
15. calpastatin and calpain-1 represent critical proximal elements in a cascade of pro-apoptotic events leading to Bax, mitochondria, and caspase-3 activation
16. Overexpression of calpastatin reduced muscle atrophy during 10 day unloading period. Overexpression completely prevented shift in myofibrillar myosin content from slow to fast isoforms, which normally occurs in muscle unloading.
17. Overexpression of calpastatin in transgenic mice is associated with an increase in GLUT4 protein.
18. Calpastatin amino acid side chains at leucine-11 and isoleucine-18 interact with hydrophobic pockets in calpain, and each of these interactions is indispensable for effective inhibition of calpain.
19. A complete calpain-calpastatin system is expressed in the human oocyte and may play a role in the various calcium-mediated processes occurring during activation of human oocytes.
