CST6 - cystatin E/M Gene
Also Known as ECTD15
Species: Homo sapiens
About CST6
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 106 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 70.4) and lung (RPKM 4.9).
Summary
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, where they appear to provide protective functions. This gene encodes a cystatin from the type 2 family, which is down-regulated in metastatic breast tumor cells as compared to primary tumor cells. Loss of expression is likely associated with the progression of a primary tumor to a metastatic phenotype. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
