• Description: Cystatin C 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. It also seems to play a role in brain disorders involving amyloid. In humans, all cells with a nucleus (cell core containing the DNA) produce cystatin C as a chain of 120 amino acids. It is found in virtually all tissues and bodily fluids. It is a potent inhibitor of lysosomal proteinases and probably one of the most important extracellular inhibitors of cysteine proteases. Cystatin C belongs to the type 2 cystatin gene family.
• Form: Filtered (0,4 μm) and lyophilized in 0.5 mg/mL in 20mM TRIS, 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5.
• Research topic: Renal disease; Animal studies
• Purity: >95%
• Reconstitution: Add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5 mg/mL and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.
• Applications: Western blotting
• Quality Control Test: BCA to determine quantity of the protein; SDS PAGE to determine purity of the protein
• Sequences of amino acids: MRGSHHHHHH GMASGTSRPP PRLLGAPQEA DASEEGVQRA LDFAVSEYNK GSNDAYHSRA IQVVRARKQL VAGINYYLDV EMGRTTCTKS QTNLTNCPFH DQPHLMRKAL CSFQIYSVPW KGTHTLTKSS CKNA
• Storage: Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at -20°C. Aliquot reconstituted protein to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles and store at -80°C for long term storage. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after one week at 4°C.
• Pathways: Salivary secretion
