Cystatin F (Leukocystatin) (CST7) (C-Term), (AA 20-145) protein
Description
Recombinant Human Cystatin-F is produced by our mammalian expression system in human cells. The target protein is expressed with sequence (G20-H145) of Human CST7 fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. CST7 is a secreted protein and primarily expressed in peripheral blood cells and spleen.It is belongs to the cystatin family. The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions. This gene encodes a glycosylated cysteine protease inhibitor with a putative role in immune regulation through inhibition of a unique target in the hematopoietic system.
