About CAPN8
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 147 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Biased expression in stomach (RPKM 65.0), lung (RPKM 7.1) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
Predicted to enable calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium-dependent self proteolysis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm.
