Calpains are calcium-activated thiol proteases. They are heterodimers with one large subunit and one small subunit. The large subunit varies between family members and can be active without the small subunit. Calpains are involved in intracellular processing of proteins. Calpain 12 is a typical calpain with protease and calcium binding domains. It is expressed ubiquitously, with a very high level of expression in the cortex of the hair follicle during the hair cycle anagen phase. The modification of Calpain 12, together with å Enolase and ATP5B, may play a significant role in plaque deposition of the brain.
