Background
Cystatins are a family of inhibitors of cysteine peptidases that comprises the salivary cystatins D and S-type (including CST5 and CST4,1,2) and cystatin C-type (CST3) (PMID: 25329717). The D and S-type cystatin have also been detected in seminal plasma, tears, and tracheobronchial fluid but not in other fluids and secretions where cystatin C is found. And the CST4 was expressed in the serous acinar and demilune cells of the human submandibular gland and at lower levels in the serous acini of the parotid gland (PMID:11879580). CST4 specifically combines with cysteine protease to regulate its activity, thus preventing hydrolysis of the extracellular matrix. And some studies propose that CST4 might be a biomarker for gastrointestinal cancer (PMID:29218251; PMID:29636621).
