| Background of the target antigen: |
All true cystatins inhibit cysteine peptidases of the papain family, As a member of the CRES subfamily, CRES proteins lack two of the three consensus sites necessary for the cystatin inhibition of C1 cysteine proteases, CRES proteins may perform unique and tissue-specific functions in the reproductive and neuroendocrine systems, Cystatin 8 is a 142 amino acid protein that is expressed in the proximal caput region of the epididymis, The CRES (cystatin-related epididymal spermatogenic) protein defines a new subgroup in the family 2 cystatins of the cystatin superfamily, Therefore, They are also preferentially expressed in postmeiotic germ cells, and anterior pituitary gonadotrophs, such as cathepsins, the proximal caput epididymidis, where it performs a specialized role during sperm development and maturation, while some also inhibit legumain family enzymes, The cystatin superfamily is a well-established family of cysteine protease inhibitors |
