Target Background

Function
Cystatin D is a cysteine proteinase inhibitor that plays a potential protective role against proteinases found in the oral cavity. It exhibits a preferential inhibition order of cathepsin S > cathepsin H > cathepsin L > cathepsin B.
Gene References Into Functions
  1. Research suggests that CST5 is a crucial mediator of tumor suppression by p53 in colorectal cancer. PMID: 26158294
  2. These findings indicate an unexpected role for cystatin D within the cell nucleus, controlling the transcription of specific genes involved in essential cellular functions. This may contribute to its protective effect in colon cancer. PMID: 26364852
  3. Compared to its homologues, cystatin D exhibits an unusual inhibition profile, preferentially inhibiting cathepsin S > cathepsin H > cathepsin L, and demonstrating no inhibition of cathepsin B or pig legumain. PMID: 15728581
  4. Cystatin D is a potential tumor suppressor gene induced by vitamin D in human colon cancer cells. PMID: 19662683
