Description | Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Cystatin-A(CSTA) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human. Background: Cystatin A also called Stefin A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSTA gene. Cystatin A is a cysteine proteinase inhibitor that belongs to family 1 of the cystatin superpamily. This gene was assigned to human chromosome 3q21.1. This is an intracellular thiol proteinase inhibitor. Cystatin A plays an important role in desmosome-mediated cell-cell adhesion in the lower levels of the epidermis. Stefins have been proposed as prognostic and diagnostic tools for cancer. |
Immunogen | Immunogen: E Coli-derived human Cystatin A recombinant protein (Position: E8-F98). Human Cystatin A shares 61.5% and 58.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Cystatin A, respectively. Ig Type: Rabbit IgG |
