Target Information

The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily: type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins, and kininogens.
Type 2 cystatin proteins are cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in various human fluids and secretions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains most type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene, located in the cystatin locus, encodes an epididymal-specific protein with antimicrobial activity against E. coli. Alternative splicing yields two variants encoding distinct isoforms.
