Cystatin-SN is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST1 gene. [3]
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, where they appear to provide protective functions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a cysteine proteinase inhibitor found in saliva, tears, urine, and seminal fluid. [3]
In biology and biochemistry, protease inhibitors, or antiproteases, are molecules that inhibit the function of proteases. Many naturally occurring protease inhibitors are proteins.
Cathepsin B belongs to a family of lysosomal cysteine proteases known as the cysteine cathepsins and plays an important role in intracellular proteolysis. In humans, cathepsin B is encoded by the CTSB gene. Cathepsin B is upregulated in certain cancers, in pre-malignant lesions, and in various other pathological conditions.
Cathepsin L1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSL1 gene. The protein is a cysteine cathepsin, a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays a major role in intracellular protein catabolism.
Cystatin-A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSTA gene.
Cystatin-B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSTB gene.
Cathepsin H is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSH gene.
Cystatin-S is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST4 gene.
Statherin is a protein in humans that is encoded by the STATH gene. It prevents the precipitation of calcium phosphate in saliva, maintaining a high calcium level in saliva available for remineralisation of tooth enamel and high phosphate levels for buffering.
Cystatin-SA is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST2 gene.
Basic salivary proline-rich protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRB1 gene.
Cystatin-M is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST6 gene.
Cystatin-F is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST7 gene.
Cystatin-D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST5 gene.
Cathepsin L2 is a protein encoded in humans by the CTSV gene.
Cystatin-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST8 gene.
Basic salivary proline-rich protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRB4 gene.
Cathepsin F is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CTSF gene.
Cystatin-9-like is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST9L gene.
Cystatin-11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CST11 gene.
Cystatin-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSTL1 gene.
