Human Cystatin SA / CST2 Protein, His Tag

Cystatin-2 (CST2) is also known as Cystatin-SA, Cystatin-S5, is a secreted thiol protease inhibitor, which belongs to the cystatin family. 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 CST1, CST2, CST4, and CST5 are expressed in differential, tissue-specific patterns. CST2 is expressed in submandibular and sublingual saliva but not in parotid saliva (at protein level) and is also expressed in submandibular gland and parotid gland.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 15.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 15-16 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE).
