| Short Description : | Recombinant-Human Cystatin A-protein was developed from hek293. For use in research applications. |
| Host: | HEK293 |
| Note: | STRICTLY FOR FURTHER RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Dilution Range: | Spin the vial and reconstite in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This can then be diluted into other buffers. |
| Formulation: | Lyophilised from 0.2 Mu m filtered PBS solution, pH7.2, 5% Trehalose. |
| Storage Instruction: | Can be stored in working aliquots at 2°C-8°C C for one month, or at-20°C to-70°C for 1 year. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. NA |
| Endotoxin: | Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg (1EU/µg). NA |
| Immunoreactivity: | The activity was tested by the ability to inhibit Cathepsin L cleavage of a fluorogenic substrate. The ED50 was measured to be 10nM NA |
| Gene Symbol: | CSTA |
| Gene ID: | 1475 |
| Uniprot ID: | CYTA_HUMAN |
| Immunogen: | Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Cystatin A-CSTA (ILE 2-PHE98) mature chain including a C-terminal His tag was expressed in HEK293 cells. NA |
| Immunogen Region: | ILE 2-PHE98 |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the skin throughout the epidermis. |
| Function | This is an intracellular thiol proteinase inhibitor. Has an important role in desmosome-mediated cell-cell adhesion in the lower levels of the epidermis. |
