Anti-Cystatin-C Antibody

Cystatin-C is a cysteine protease inhibitor in mammals, which is essential in protein degradation and keeping an equilibrium between inhibitors and proteases. It is thought to be a better marker for renal dysfunction and potential kidney injury than creatinine. Recently, Cystatin-C has been implicated in primary hypertension and may be a novel marker in patients. Cystatin-C has also been implicated in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of CNS neurons and has been shown to inhibit amyloid-beta deposition in Alzheimer′s disease models.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Cystatin-C.

Anti-Cystatin-C Antibody detects level of Cystatin-C & has been published & validated for use in WB, IH(P).

Immunohistochemistry (paraffin) Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of a previous lot detected Cystatin-C in purkinje cells of normal rat cerebellum, neurons of normal rat frontal lobe, and neurons in normal rat midbrain.
