| Formulation |
Cystatin-A (1mg/ml) in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 1mM DTT and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
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. |
| Protein Background |
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. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Cystatin-A, Cystatin-AS, Stefin-A, CSTA, STF1, STFA. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
