Calpains, calcium-activated cysteine proteases with a neutral pH optimum, lead to degration of cystoskeletion and structural protein, and delayed neuronal death. The activation of calpains contribute to apoptosis. Calpain inhibitors provide a novel and potential treatment for cerebral ischemia due to improvement of cerebral infarct and ischemia.
钙蛋白酶是一种最适pH为中性的钙激活半胱氨酸蛋白酶，可导致细胞骨架和结构蛋白降解，并延缓神经元死亡。钙蛋白酶的激活会促使细胞凋亡。由于可改善脑梗死和缺血情况，钙蛋白酶抑制剂为脑缺血提供了一种新的潜在治疗方法。
