Source: Hangzhou Jianli Biological Concept of Cystatin C: Discovered in cerebrospinal fluid by Clausen in 1961, officially named Cystatin C (Cystatin Superfamily Type 2) in 1984. Composed of 122 amino acid residues, with a molecular weight of about 13KD. All nucleated organisms can stably produce Cystatin C in the body. As a cysteine protease inhibitor, … Read more
In routine health check-ups, many people overlook the indicator of Cystatin C due to a lack of understanding. In fact, Cystatin C is increasingly being used to evaluate early damage to renal filtration function in diabetic nephropathy, assess the recovery of kidney function in renal transplant patients, monitor changes in kidney function in hemodialysis patients, … Read more
Author: Gao JieUnit: Shanxi Bethune Hospital Laboratory Serum cystatin C (CysC), also known as cysteine protease inhibitor C, is a low molecular weight, non-glycosylated basic protein with a molecular weight of approximately 13kD. Almost all nucleated cells in the body’s tissues can continuously produce CysC at a constant rate. CysC can freely pass through the … Read more
Understanding Cystatin CCystatin C (Cys-C) is a cysteine protease inhibitor with a molecular weight of 13 kDa, composed of 120 amino acid residues. It is a secretory protein whose excretion is solely influenced by glomerular filtration rate, unaffected by other factors such as gender, age, diet, inflammation, infection, blood lipids, or liver disease. In recent … Read more
