Specifications
Target Information
Rat Cystatin C is a low molecular weight protein (approximately 13 kDa) that belongs to the type 2 cystatin superfamily. It is a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases, including lysosomal cathepsins, and is expressed by all nucleated cells. Cystatin C is freely filtered by the glomeruli and reabsorbed by the proximal tubules in the kidneys, making it a reliable biomarker for renal function. Elevated levels of Cystatin C in serum or urine can indicate renal impairment, including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.
