pubmed:abstractText
A calpain (Ca(2+)-activated neutral protease) activator was purified from human platelets by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel-filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, followed by heat-treatment. The purified calpain activator with a Mr of 47.5 kDa was a heat-stable protein as demonstrated in other cells. The calpain activator did not change the Ca2+ sensitivity of calpain but activated calpain activity about 2-fold. This calpain activator may play an important role in the activation of the protease system leading to the Ca(2+)-mediated physiological process of platelets.
