Capn8

Enables calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium-dependent self proteolysis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in gut; liver; and male reproductive gland or organ. Orthologous to human CAPN8 (calpain 8).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Capn8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
