A non-glycosylated secreted protein and member of the type 2 cystatin superfamily, which acts as a potent inhibitor of both endogenous and pathogenic cysteine proteinases. Cystatin C is produced by nucleated cells and is present in a variety of biological fluids. Changes in cystatin C
have been associated with a number of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, and measurement of plasma cystatin C levels can be used as a more sensitive marker than creatinine for determining glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the kidneys.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
