59 results about "Calpain" patented technology

A calpain (/ˈkælpeɪn/; EC 3.4.22.52, EC 3.4.22.53) is a protein belonging to the family of calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases (proteolytic enzymes) expressed ubiquitously in mammals and many other organisms. Calpains constitute the C2 family of protease clan CA in the MEROPS database. The calpain proteolytic system includes the calpain proteases, the small regulatory subunit CAPNS1, also known as CAPN4, and the endogenous calpain-specific inhibitor, calpastatin.

Specific inhibitors of NFAT activation by calcineurin and their use in treating immune-related diseases

Construction method and applications of inducible transgenic mouse cardiomyopathy animal model

The invention relates to an expression vector containing a calpain-1 gene. The expression vector comprises a Tet operon, an alpha-MHC promoter nucleotide sequence, a mitochondrial signal peptide sequence and a gene segment of calpain-1 which are connected in sequence. The invention further provides a construction method of an inducible transgenic mouse cardiomyopathy animal model. The constructionmethod comprises the following steps: importing the expression vector containing the calpain-1 gene into oosperms of a mouse, and transferring the oosperms into the uterus of the receptor mouse for gestation, thus obtaining the positive offspring transgenic mouse; and mating the positive offspring transgenic mouse with a transgenic mouse with specific expression of tTA or a transgenic mouse withspecific expression of rtTA, and picking out the inducible transgenic mouse cardiomyopathy animal model from the hybrid offsprings. The invention further discloses applications of the transgenic mousecardiomyopathy animal model obtained through the construction method in screening medicines for treating cardiomyopathy. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, the modeling success rate is high, the phenotype is stable, the cost is ow, and whether inducting for the generation of cardiomyopathy is needed or not can be selected according to the actual demands.

Processing method of raw material meat for small crispy meat and method for preparing small crispy meat by using raw material meat

InactiveCN108522947APromote maturityReduced maturation lossFood scienceChloridePig skin
The invention discloses a processing method of raw material meat for small crispy meat, and belongs to the technical field of meat processing. The processing method comprises the following steps of S1: rinsing live pigs, performing slaughtering so as to obtain bodies, and performing spraying and disinfecting on the bodies; S2: performing heat bone removing, fat removing and pig skin removing on pig hind legs obtained in the step S1, and injecting a calcium chloride solution of which the concentration is 145-155ppm and the mass is 0.2%-0.5% of that of lean meat to the obtained lean meat; and S3: cooling the lean meat processed in step S1 under minus 40 to minus 35 DEG C for 30-40 minutes, so that thin ice is generated on the surfaces of the lean meat, and then putting the cooled lean meat in a precooling storage of which the temperature is 2-4 DEG C and the humidity is 85-95% for 18-24 hours. According to the processing method disclosed by the invention, the calcium chloride solution isinjected to the hot fresh pig hind legs, so that the activity of calpains in muscles is improved, and the mature of the meat of the pig hind legs is accelerated. The invention further provides a method of preparing the small crispy meat by using the raw material meat. The invention further provides the method for preparing the small crispy meat by using the raw material meat, and the method can realize industrial production of the small crispy meat.

Synaptotagmin and Collapsin Response Mediator Protein as Biomarkers for Traumatic Brain Injury

Collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) decreased in tissue and increased in biological fluids after neural injury from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Significant decreases of CRMP1, CRMP2, CRMP4 and CRMP5 were accompanied by the appearance of distinct 58 kDa (CRMP-2) or 55 kDa (CRMP-4) breakdown products from proteolytic cleavage by calpain. Synaptotagmin breakdown products were also associated with TBI and could be detected along with intact protein in human cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Both biomarkers were detected in human biofluid and related to recovery from traumatic brain injury.

Application of calpain protein-1 in resisting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection

InactiveCN113621598AHigh activitySignificant anti-PEDV virus functionPeptide/protein ingredientsGenetically modified cellsCalpactinsTotal protein
The invention discloses Calpain-1 and application thereof in inhibiting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection, and belongs to the technical field of biological engineering. On the basis of finding that pig small intestine mucus total protein can inhibit PEDV infection, the proteinase-1 capable of inhibiting PEDV invasion into host cells is obtained through identification and purification from pig small intestine mucus, the nucleotide sequence of the protein coding gene is as shown in SEQ ID No.1 in a sequence table, and the amino acid sequence of the protein coding gene is as shown in SEQ ID No.2. The porcine calpain protein-1 further obtained through eukaryotic expression also has a remarkable antiviral function, and the porcine calpain protein-1 is mainly used for inhibiting PEDV from invading host cells through enzymolysis of PEDV spike protein. The Calpain-1 disclosed by the invention can also be applied to the preparation of PEDV infection resisting medicines or antiviral feed additives.
