melanoma cell line | two novel splicing variants (hMp78 and hMp84) of calpain-3 gene (CAPN3) have a significant lower expression in vertical growth phase melanomas and, even lower, in metastases, compared to benign nevi | Homo sapiens | - |
skeletal muscle | the enzyme is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle | Homo sapiens | - |

physiological function | calpain-3 down-regulation can be regarded as a mechanism contributing to melanoma progression. Overexpression of the calpain-3 splicing variant hMp84 in A375 cells or HT-144 cells causes inhibition of cell proliferation, cell death, and increase of both ROS levels and F2-isoprostanes | Homo sapiens |
