- Overview
  - Cystatin A Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 118 amino acids (1-98a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 13.1 kDa. The Cystatin A is fused to a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Human Cystatin A (CSTA or Stefin A) belongs to family 1 of the cystatin superfamily, which is characterized by the lack of disulphide bonds and carbohydrates. CSTA is an intracellular inhibitor regulating the activities of cysteine proteases of the papain family such as Cathepsins B, H and L. Cystatin A has also been implicated in several disease states. Because of altered proteolytic state in cancer progression, CSTA may have a role in the proteolitic pathways.

- Applications
  - Application Description
    
    The IC50 value is < 1.0nM. The inhibitory function of CSTA on protease activity of papain was measured by a fluorometric assay using Z-FR-AMC at pH 7.5 at 25C.
