Biochem/physiol Actions


Cystatin-C precursor (CST3) is an inhibitor of lysosomal cysteine proteases and several cathepsins like cathepsin S, a lysosomal enzyme. It has been shown that CST3 is a marker of glomerular filtration and diabetic kidney disease. In the presence of pathological conditions, it forms amyloid fibrils in brain arteries. Mutations in the gene encoding CST3 have been shown to be associated with a form of amyloidosis and age-related macular degeneration.


Cystatin C (CysC) is released by all nucleated cells. Abnormal thyroid function, immunosuppressive therapy and systemic inflammation alter the levels of CysC. Mutation in the gene encoding CysC causes hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy, which is a consequence of amyloid deposits containing the CysC variant in the brain.


General description
