CST9 Antibody

CST9 is part of the cystatin superfamily which 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. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a secreted protein that may play a role in hematopoietic differentiation or inflammation.The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store CST9 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

CST9 antibody can be used for detection of CST9 by ELISA at 1:312500. CST9 antibody can be used for detection of CST9 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
