Scientific Data Images for Human Cystatin A Antibody
Detection of Human Cystatin A by Western Blot.
Western Blot shows lysates of THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/ml of Mouse Anti-Human Cystatin A Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1407) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Cystatin A at approximately 11 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.Applications for Human Cystatin A Antibody

Background: Cystatin A
Cystatin A, also called stefin A, Cystatin AS or keratolinin, is a member of family 1 of the cystatin superfamily (1, 2). Like Cystatin B, it is an intracellular inhibitor regulating the activities of cysteine proteases of the papain family such as cathepsins B, H and L (3). For example, immunohistochemical analysis of Cystatin A and cathepsin L is a useful indicator for malignancy in human epidermal keratinocytes (4). The ratio of cathepsin B and Cystatin A can be used in the differential diagnosis and treatment of patients with prostate carcinoma (5). The human Cystatin A consists of 98 amino acids (1).
