ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to two highly purified neural calcium-activated neutral proteinase (CANP or calpain) inhibitors, known as high molecular weight calpastatin (HMWC) and low molecular weight calpastatin (LMWC). The invention also relates to recombinant DNA molecules which code for, and antibodies which bind to these proteins. The present invention is further directed to the use of these calpastatin proteins.
