Cystatin SN/CST1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Cystatin SN (CST1) is a component of human saliva that is immunologically similar to cystatin S but exhibits distinct specificity due to sequence variation. Cystatin SN has an isoelectric point of 7.5 and is a potent inhibitor of papain and dipeptidyl peptidase I, superior to Cystatin S in these activities. Cystatin SN/CST1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Cystatin SN/CST1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

Cystatin SN (CST1) is a component of human saliva that is immunologically similar to cystatin S but exhibits distinct specificity due to sequence variation. Cystatin SN has an isoelectric point of 7.5 and is a potent inhibitor of papain and dipeptidyl peptidase I, superior to Cystatin S in these activities. Cystatin SN/CST1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Cystatin SN/CST1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

Cystatin SN (CST1), a component of human saliva, belongs to the cysteine proteinase inhibitor family, sharing immunological similarity with cystatin S. Despite this similarity, Cystatin SN exhibits distinct specificity due to amino acid sequence variations. With a pI of 7.5, Cystatin SN stands out as a potent inhibitor of papain and dipeptidyl peptidase I, outperforming cystatin S in these inhibitory activities. Notably, both Cystatin SN and cystatin S demonstrate equal proficiency in inhibiting ficin. This highlights the intricate variations in the inhibitory capabilities within the cystatin family present in saliva, emphasizing their potential roles in regulating specific proteolytic activities.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM MES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 5.5 or 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

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.
