Entrez Gene Summary
The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions, where they

Description:
Anti-Cystatin C
Background Information:
Cystatin C (CST3 or Gamma trace) is a serum protein used mainly as a measure of glomerular filtration rate. Studies have shown that Cystatin C allows a more precise testing of kidney function than creatinine. Cystatin C is a single 120-residue polypeptide belonging to the type 2 cystatin gene family. Type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors that provide protective functions and are found in a variety of human fluids and secretions. A mutation in the gene associated with type 2 cystatin has been associated with amyloid angiopathy. Expression of this protein in vascular wall smooth muscle cells is severely reduced in patients with vascular disease. Mutations in the cystatin 3 gene are responsible for the Icelandic type of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a condition that can lead to susceptibility to cerebral hemorrhage.
Alternate Names:
- Neuroendocrine basic polypeptide
