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. 10 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
