Cystatin C/CST3 Protein, Human (HEK293)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Cystatin C/CST3 protein can significantly inhibit cysteine proteases and locally regulate their enzymatic activity. It captures and binds free plasma hemoglobin, preventing kidney damage and supporting hepatic heme iron recycling. Cystatin C/CST3 Protein, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived Cystatin C/CST3 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Biological Activity

Description

Cystatin C/CST3 protein can significantly inhibit cysteine proteases and locally regulate their enzymatic activity. It captures and binds free plasma hemoglobin, preventing kidney damage and supporting hepatic heme iron recycling. Cystatin C/CST3 Protein, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived Cystatin C/CST3 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Background

The Cystatin C/CST3 protein serves a crucial physiological role as an inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, acting as a local regulator of their enzyme activity. It is known to capture and bind free plasma hemoglobin, preventing kidney damage and enabling the hepatic recycling of heme iron. In cases of hemolysis, where hemoglobin can accumulate in the kidneys and be secreted in urine, Cystatin C/CST3 plays a vital role in clearing the complexes formed between hemoglobin and Haptoglobin. Additionally, Cystatin C/CST3 acts as an antioxidant, exhibits antibacterial activity, and contributes to modulating various aspects of the acute phase response. The protein's homodimeric structure further enhances its functionality and effectiveness as an enzyme inhibitor.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to inhibit papain cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate Z-FR-AMC. The IC50 value is 2.151 nM. (Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated in reducing buffer for an activated form.)

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 50 mM NaCl, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol, 0.02% Tween 80, pH 6.8.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 10 mM PB, 200 mM NaCl, pH 6.5, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
