Active Human Cystatin C Reference Standard

• Cat.No.: CST3-11H

Specification

• Description: Cystatin C or cystatin 3 (formerly gamma trace, post-gamma-globulin or neuroendocrine basic polypeptide), a protein encoded by the CST3 gene, is mainly used as a biomarker of kidney function. Recently, it has been studied for its role in predicting new-onset or deteriorating cardiovascular disease
• Species: Human
• Form: Liquid
• Bio-activity: The level of Cystatin C in the serum was quantified using ELISA.
• Usage: For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
