Background: Calpain is a calcium-dependent thiol proteinase that is functionally active as a heterodimer composed of a small regμlatory subunit and one of at least two large catalytic subunits . In vitro, calpain 1 requires micromolar levels of calcium, while calpain requires millimolar levels of calcium for activation. The regμlation of calpain in vivo is the subject of many current studies, which suggest that proteolytic activity is regμlated post-transcriptionally by mechanisms such as calcium requirements, subcellμlar localization of the heterodimer, phosphorylation via the EGFR-Erk signaling cascade, endogenous inhibitors , and autoproteolytic cleavage. Calpastatin negatively regμlates autoproteolytic cleavage of calpain 1 between Gly27 and Leu28 . Calpain influences cell migration by modifying rather than degrading its substrates responsible for cell adhesion and cytoskeletal arrangement. Control of calpain activity has caught the attention of drug development since limiting its activity coμld mute invasiveness of tumors or chronic inflammation.
