About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CST8:

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. 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 protein similar to type 2 cystatins. The protein

exhibits highly tissue-specific expression in the reproductive tract, suggesting implicit roles in reproduction.

Alternative splicing identified in mouse is suggested in human based on EST evidence but the full-length nature of

putative variants has not been determined. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)
