Enables SNARE binding activity; calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin cytoskeleton reorganization; autophagy of mitochondrion; and response to glucose. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cytosol; and mitochondrion. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity; pancreatic cancer; polycystic ovary syndrome; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CAPN10 (calpain 10).
