Regulation of skeletal muscle protein degradation by u-calpain and development of a skeletal muscle-specific inducible expression system

The first goal of this study was to understand the role of u-calpain in skeletal muscle protein degradation in cultured muscle cells. Several strategies were developed to down-regulate endogenous u-calpain activity and m-calpain activity in rat myotubes. These included over-expression of antisense u...
