Calcium-dependent proteases are found in a wide variety of tissues from many animal species. They are intracellular enzymes that for activation require calcium in the micromolar range. In addition to the calcium dependence, two regulatory proteins have been identified, one an inhibitor and one an activator. These interactions indicate a highly complex role for calcium-dependent proteolysis in the intracellular processing of proteins.
