Background
The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that containmultiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are activecysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhapsnever acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitoryfamilies in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins(stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatinproteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in avariety of human fluids and secretions, where they appear toprovide protective functions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes.This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a secretedthiol protease inhibitor found at high levels in saliva, tears andseminal plasma.
