About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CST2:

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

secreted thiol protease inhibitor found at high levels in saliva, tears and seminal plasma. (provided by RefSeq, Jul

2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CYTT_HUMAN, P09228

Function: Thiol protease inhibitor
