Specificity

Detects human Cystatin S in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 30% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Cystatin SA and rhCystatin SN is observed and 5% cross-reactivity with rhCystatin C and rhCystatin D is observed, and less than 1% cross-reactivity with rhCystatin A, rhCystatin B, rhCystatin E/M, rhFetuin A, and rhFetuin B is observed.

Background: Cystatin S

Cystatin S is a member of family 2 of the cystatin superfamily (1). Like cystatins SA and SN, it is produced by the salivary gland and secreted largely in the submandibular/sublingual saliva (2). Unlike cystatins SA and SN, Cystatin S is not a potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases such as papain and some cathepsins (3). Cystatin S is partially phosphorylated at Ser21 and Ser23 in saliva (4). The functions of Cystatin S are largely unknown. However, it is able to bind more calcium and bind more rapidly to carbonated apatite than cystatins SA or SN, indicating that Cystatin S may be involved in the mineral balance of the tooth (3).
