human ... CAPN1(823)

Application

E-64d has been used as a lysosomal inhibitor in human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cells and Huh-7 cells. It has also been used as a protease inhibitor in free calcium physiological tyrode solution for perfusion into the isolated heart samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

E-64d is an epoxysuccinyl peptide and an inhibitor of cysteine protease cathepsin B, calpains 1 and 2. E-64d by its cathepsin B protease inhibition functionality, may serve as a potential drug for treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Alzheimer′s disease (AD). It inhibits gametocyte surface antigen resulting in a decreased oocyst production in Plasmodium falciparum.

Extensive transcriptional activity occurring in intergenic regions of genomes has raised the question whether intergenic transcription represents the activity of novel genes or noisy expression. To address this, we evaluated cross-species and post-duplication sequence and expression conservation of intergenic transcribed
