Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Ca2+ mu-calpain is freely diffusible in the cytoplasm at resting Ca2+ concentrations but binds within seconds at high Ca2+ concentrations. Ca2+ concentration has to be raised to above 0.002 mM for more than 1 min to initiate detectable autolysis of mu-calpain and to activate appreciable proteolytic activity. If Ca2+ concentration is raised sufficiently for long enough to initiate substantial autolysis of mu-calpain, the Ca2+ sensitivity of the proteolytic activity is greatly increased and it remains active even at 300 nM Ca2+, with activity only ceasing if the Ca2+ concentration is decreased to about 50 nM Ca2+ Rattus norvegicus
