NCBI Description

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 encoded protein exhibits highly tissue-specific expression in the reproductive tract, suggesting implicit roles in reproduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Product Notes

The CST8 cst8 (Catalog #AAA422291) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Goat anti-Cystatin 8 (aa 100-112) Antibody reacts with Tested: Human; Expected from sequence similarity: Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Cystatin 8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Peptide ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB-Trf). Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1: 16000. Western Blot: In transfected HEK293 transiently expressing Human CST8 (MYC and DYKDDDDK tagged), a band of approx.23kDa is observed. No bands are observed in mock-transfected HEK293 and the same band is observed using anti-myc tag antibody. Recommended concentration, 1-3ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CST8 cst8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: STNEICAIQE NSK. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cystatin 8, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
