I said "found in the brain" because that's the only tissue i'm sure it's found in. It may be in other tissues as well. If you have evidence for that, will you add it please? also, stroke and head injury may not be the only times it's activated in excess. --Delldot 21:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Calpain is ubiquitously found, indeed. You should find more sources at pubmed. The overactivation of calpain also contributes to induced hepatotoxicity and several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's Disease, main subject of my graduation research project.

The text is full of numerical references that are not listed below. Please, fix that. Bruno Ramos 03:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that a user added content from his/her thesis, but did not include the references. I have reverted to the last version before those additions. --Arcadian 14:54, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This text refers to the P1 and P2 position on the molecule but as far as I can determine there is no explanation of what these are anywhere in wikipedia, including on the protein page. Could this please be rectified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.165.35 (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure where to best provide this feedback, but it seems that there are a range of pages that contain mislabeled link boxes. The links in the section "Available PDB structures" don't go to any of the PDB sites, but to PDBsum. I suggest renaming the section to "Links to PDBsum" and adding another section that redirects to the PDB, similar to what is available for many other protein related pages, e.g. SHC1 --Andorsch (talk) 21:28, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"tertiary structure elements rather than primary amino acid sequences are likely responsible for directing cleavage to a specific substrate." This exact phrase is found in an uncited research paper with the DOI: 10.1055/s-0032-1301419 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.65.169.22 (talk) 23:07, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
