title: [Proteases of calpain family in water invertebrates and fish].
abstract: The activity of Ca2+-dependent proteases, or calpains (EC 3.4.22.17), in a wide range of aquatic invertebrates (Oligochaeta, Hirudinea, Crustacea, Insecta, Gastropoda, Bivalvia) and vertebrates (Osteichthyes) was estimated. Detected molecular properties ofcalpains from the tissues of different species allow considering the complication of their structural organization and regulatory mechanisms between invertebrates and vertebrates in comparative-evolutionary aspect. Certain conclusions can be drawn about changes in the functional role of this proteolytic system in the cell metabolism.
