Immunomodulatory properties of cystatins

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2002
Cystatins are natural tight-binding reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Because these cysteine proteases exist in all living organisms and because they are involved in various biological and pathological processes, the control of these protease functions by cystatins is of cardinal importance.

Cystatins of Parasitic Organisms

2011
The cystatin superfamily comprises several groups of protease inhibitors. In this chapter we will focus on I25 family members, which consist predominantly of the type 2 cystatins. Recently, a wealth of information on these molecules and their activities has been described.

Salivary cystatin activity and cystatin C in experimental gingivitis in non‐smokers

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2003
AbstractBackground: Subjects with natural gingivitis and periodontitis have elevated levels of salivary cystatins compared to periodontally healthy individuals. Experimental gingivitis studies, however, have yielded conflicting results.Aim: The present study investigated whether experimentally induced gingivitis is associated with changes in salivary

Fetuin and the Cystatins

1995
As mentioned in chapter 1, Elzanowski and colleagues were the first to make a real connection between the fetuins, the kininogens and the other members of the cystatin superfamily.1 The idea of a cystatin superfamily was born when it was realized that repeated cystatin-like sequences were present in the kininogens2 and that the stefins were quite ...
