Sugarcane cystatins: From discovery to biotechnological applications
, 2022 S.676-686Phytocystatins are tight-binding cysteine protease inhibitors produced by plants. The first phytocystatin described was isolated from Oryza sativa and, since then, cystatins from several plant species were reported, including from sugarcane ...

Cystatin C and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2009 Abstract Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular events. Cystatin C, a protease inhibitor synthesized in all nucleated cells, has been proposed as a replacement for serum creatinine for the assessment of renal function, particularly to detect ...

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.

Cysteine proteinases and cystatins
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003 This review describeds the definition, localization, functions and examples of cysteine proteinases and their protein inhibitors in vertebrate, non-vertebrate animals and plants. These inhibitors are related with defense mechanisms of plant against pests.

The role of cystatins in cells of the immune system [PDF]
, 2006 The cystatins constitute a large group of evolutionary related proteins with diverse biological activities. Initially, they were characterized as inhibitors of lysosomal cysteine proteases – cathepsins.

The Influence of (Poly)phenol Intake in Saliva Proteome: Short- and Medium-Term Effects of Apple
Foods, 2023 The relationship between salivary proteome and dietary habits was studied in previous works, where a relationship between salivary proteins like cystatins and polyphenol/tannin levels in diet was observed.

beta 2-Strand of salivary S cystatins: A "chemeleon sequence"
, 2009 Secondary structure prediction of salivary cystatins S, SA, and SN carried out by several methods label the 39–58 sequence (β2-strand) as predominantly α-helical.
