Application

Calpain inhibitor II is a cell-permeable peptide that restricts the activity of calpain, cathepsin L and cathepsin B. Calpain inhibitor II also prevents the methylmercury-induced cell death of cultured rat cerebellar neurons.
Calpain Inhibitor II has been used in western blotting. It has also been used to study the mechanism of Spy1A (a cyclin-like protein) degradation during cell cycle.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calpain is a cysteine protease expressed in the nervous system. Calpain exhibits a calcium-dependent enzyme activity. In mice models, inhibition of calpain prevents leukocyte infiltration induced by angiotensin II and also attenuates prevascular inflammation.

By using mini-units of tissue and protease inhibitors in short term incubation (0-180 min), we studied the role of proteolysis for ongoing DNA replication in the developing rat cerebral cortex. The protease inhibitors TLCK, TPCK, PMSF, MG-132 and PSI markedly

Methylmercury, an environmental neurotoxicant, induces the apoptotic death of cerebellar granule cells in vitro at a low concentration. To further understand the mechanism of cell death, we used a rat cerebellar granule cell culture system to investigate whether the calpain/cyclin-dependent

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2019. The coronavirus 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (3CLpro) controls replication and is therefore considered a major target for antiviral discovery. This study describes the
