Cystatine-C proteïne

Source: Escherichia Coli. Sterile Filtered colorless solution.Cystatins are a superfamily of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in both plants and animals. They comprise a group of proteinase inhibitors, widely distributed in tissues and body fluids, and form tight complexes with cysteine proteases such as cathepsin B, H, L and S. Cystatin C, a secreted molecule of this family, is of interest from biochemical, medicine and evolutionary points of view. Cystatin C is increased in patients with malignant diseases, and is related to the insufficiency of renal function and appears to be a better marker than creatinine. On the other hand, low levels of cystatin C involve cause the breakdown of the elastic laminae and subsequently, the atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm.Cystatin-C Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non- glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 120 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 13.3kDa. Cystatin-C is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
