Calpain small subunit 1, also known as CAPN4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPNS1 gene.[1][2][3]
Functions
Myotonic dystrophy
This gene encodes a small subunit common to both calpain I and II and is associated with myotonic dystrophy.[3]
Biomarker
Elevated expression of Capn4 has been found to be associated with progression of various cancers such as hepatocellular and renal carcinoma. [4]
