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 ...

To evaluate diagnostic value of cystatin C serum levels as alternative marker of renal function in pre-eclamsia (PE) and compare it with the traditional markers of renal function, creatinine and uric acid. In order to investigate the possible influence of inflammation on biochemical markers of renal function, serum levels of high sensitive CRP were ...

Cystatin C in Cerebrovascular Disorders
Current Neurovascular Research, 2018Cystatin C (CysC), a cysteine protease inhibitor, has been widely proven to be a highly sensitive biomarker to predict the kidney function. The similarity of the renal and cerebral small vessels has awakened a surge of studies suggesting that CysC plays a key role in various cerebrovascular disorders.

Cystatin Mimicry by Synthetic Peptides
Biological Chemistry Hoppe-Seyler, 1992Synthetic peptides which tentatively mimic the cystatin inhibitory surface were used to study the mechanism of inhibition of cysteine proteinases by their natural inhibitors. The inhibitory properties of these peptides depend mainly on the presence of the QxVxG consensus sequence.

Role of Cystatins in Tumor Neovascularization
Future Oncology, 2005Cystatins form a large superfamily of proteins with diverse biologic activities. All members of the cystatin superfamily share the presence of one, two or three cystatin domains. Cystatins were initially believed to act mainly as inhibitors of lysosomal cysteine proteases.

The activities of cysteine proteinases which include several lysosomal cathepsins are controlled by naturally occurring inhibitory proteins termed cystatins. Cystatins occur both intracellularly and extracellularly in various tissue fluids including tears.

Renal function is essential for homeostasis. The kidneys play important pleiotropic roles including removal of metabolic waste products and maintenance of water-electrolyte balance and blood pressure. Early diagnosis of renal dysfunction and institution of appropriate therapy are vital to survival.

Assessment of cystatin C and cystatin C-based GFR formulas in reflux nephropathy
Journal of Pediatric Urology, 2014Early identification of reflux nephropathy (RN) could reduce the frequency of chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). We aimed to assess whether cystatin C has value for determining RN in children with VUR.Ninety-three children with VUR were classified into two groups according to the presence of renal parenchymal scarring ...
