Background Information

Calcium-activated chloride channel regulator 1(CLCA1) is a secreted protein, and it has an N-terminal zinc-dependent metallohydrolase domain with a conserved HExxE catalytic motif similar to that found in matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), and "a Disintegrin and metalloproteases" (ADAMs). The only known substrate for CLCA1 is CLCA1 itself as it undergoes intracellular autocatalytic cleavage resulting in two cleavage products which are both secreted. Since a previous study suggested that a band around 75 kDa, corresponding to the N-terminal autocatalytic cleavage product, was observed in mucus from both human and WT mice. In addition, an additional band at 50 kDa was identified in human and WT mouse mucus, suggesting that CLCA1 can be further processed. However, no band corresponding to the full-length un-cleaved CLCA1 could be detected in the human samples, and only a very faint band was observed in WT mouse mucus, indicating that most of the CLCA1 that is secreted into the mucus is fully cleaved in vivo.
