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 superfamily. This gene was assigned to human chromosome 3q21.1. This is an intracellular thiol proteinase inhibitor. The protein plays an important role in desmosome-mediated cell-cell adhesion in the lower levels of the epidermis and has been proposed as prognostic and diagnostic tools for cancer.
For a reference Cystatin A antibody with validated specificity and consistent detection across applications, see clone CSTA/3553.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Cystatin A antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Cystatin A (NEDLVLTGYQVDKN) was used as the immunogen for this Cystatin A antibody.
After reconstitution, the Cystatin A antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
