Structured_description
| Provisional_description | clp-4 encodes a large calpain subunit that is homologous to Drosophila CalpainB and the mammalian muscle-specific Calpain 3 proteins (OMIM:114240, mutations are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy); by homology, CLP-4 is predicted to function as a nonlysosomal, calcium-dependent, cysteine protease that is involved in intracellular proteolysis and peptidolysis; however, as loss of clp-4 activity via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of CLP-4 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known. |
