Cystatin B (clone 2F1), anti-human

Description
CSTB, also known as Cystatin B is an anti-protease implicated in myoclonus epilepsy, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. 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. This protein is able to from a dimer stabilized by noncovalent forces and is thought to play a role in protecting against the proteases leaking from lysosomes in cells. CSTB is located in the lysosomes and the cytoplasm, but also in the nucleus.Alternative Names
