Cystatins show similarity to fetuins, kininogens, histidine-rich glycoproteins and cystatin-related proteins. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] The cystatin family includes: The Type 1 cystatins, which are intracellular and are present in the cytosol of many cell types, but can also appear in body fluids at significant concentrations. (wikipedia.org)
These are cystatin-like proteins found in a range of organisms: plant phytocystatins, fetuin in mammals, insect cystatins, and a puff adder venom cystatin, which inhibits metalloproteases of the MEROPS peptidase family M12 (astacin/adamalysin). (wikipedia.org)
Inhibitors1
The cystatins are a family of cysteine protease inhibitors which share a sequence homology and a common tertiary structure of an alpha helix lying on top of an anti-parallel beta sheet. (wikipedia.org)
Development1
This study investigated the effects that drought stress imposed on the growth and development of soybean plants. (uwc.ac.za)
