Human Cystatin 7/CST7 Recombinant Protein

The cystatin superfamily comprises a variety of natural cysteine protease inhibitors found in a wide range of organisms and is divided into three categories. Cystatin F, also known as leukocystatin and CMAP (Cystatin-like Metastasis-Associated Protein), is a type 2 cystatin that is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells and has the highest expression levels in monocytes, dendritic cells, and certain types of T-cells. Cystatin F mRNA is also increased during dendritic cell maturation, suggesting that cystatin F has a specific role in immune activation. Cystatin F is produced as a dimer, an inactive cathepsin inhibitor which is activated by chemical reduction. Cystatin F and its homologues have been discovered in human cancer cell lines created from malignant tumors, suggesting a new approach to diagnose and prevent certain human carcinomas metastasis. Human Cystatin 7/CST7 Recombinant Protein is a highly pure recombinant protein developed by Assay Genie for use in a range of applications.
