Cystatin 11: A New Member of the Cystatin Type 2 Family [PDF]

Endocrinology, 2002
Cystatin (CST)11, a novel member of the CST type 2 family of cysteine protease inhibitors, was identified in Macaca mulatta epididymis by subtractive hybridization cloning. The human CST11 gene on chromosome 20p11.2 is located near three other CST genes expressed predominantly in the male reproductive tract.

Cystatin M/E Variant Causes Autosomal Dominant Keratosis Follicularis Spinulosa Decalvans by Dysregulating Cathepsins L and V

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare cornification disorder with an X-linked recessive inheritance in most cases. Pathogenic variants causing X-linked KFSD have been described in MBTPS2, the gene for a membrane-bound zinc ...

Identification of Proteins Responsible for High Activity of Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitor in the Blood of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Fishes, 2022
Cysteine proteinase inhibitors (CPIs) protect tissues and organs against cysteine proteinases in animal blood and have attracted much attention for use in food processing and medical sciences for humans and animals.

Overexpression of StCYS1 gene enhances tolerance to salt stress in the transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plant

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
Salt stress seriously restricts the growth and yield of potatoes. Plant cystatins are vital players in biotic stress and development, however, their roles in salt stress resistance remain elusive.

Melia azedarach L. extract induced the production of phytocystatin in passion fruit leaves

Hoehnea, 2021
Phytocystatins belong to the family of cysteine proteinases inhibitors. These proteinase inhibitors have crucial functions in plant defense against insects and pathogens attack. In the present study Melia azedarach L. extract acts as an elicitor of plant

Expression of a barley cystatin gene in maize enhances resistance against phytophagous mites by altering their cysteine-proteases

, 2010
Phytocystatins are inhibitors of cysteine-proteases from plants putatively involved in plant defence based on their capability of inhibit heterologous enzymes.

Assessment of Renal Function in Women with Preeclampsia by Measuring of Serum Cystatin C Level

Mustansiriya Medical Journal
Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a major health problem that increases the risk of renal impairment during pregnancy. Studies have described the utility of Cystatin C as a better indicator of kidney function during pregnancy compared to urea, creatinine,

Cystatin C proteoforms in chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2023
Cystatin C, a cysteine protease inhibitor, is used as a biomarker of renal function. It offers several advantages compared to creatinine, and formulas for the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate based on cystatin C have been developed. Recently,

Cystatins and cancer

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
Cystatins are natural cysteine protease inhibitors which belong to a superfamily of proteins with wide occurrence in tissues. The cystatins have been shown to play multiple roles in normal and disease processes. In many different cancers the cathepsins, enzymes inhibited by cystatins, are elevated and participate in tumor growth and invasion.
