Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1471
Gene name Cystatin C
Gene symbol CST3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ADLDWAARMD11HEL-S-2
Chromosome 20
Chromosome location 20p11.21
Summary The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory
