Cystatin-C (Cystatin C)

Target (abbrv.) Cystatin C
Target (full name) Cystatin-C
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL001777 (2609-59_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol CST3
UniProt ID P01034
UniProt Comment
  • As an inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, this protein is thought to serve an important physiological role as a local regulator of this enzyme activity.
Biomarker applications (based on IPA annotation)
  • diagnosis
  • efficacy
  • prognosis
  • safety
  • unspecified application
Reactome
  • Amyloids

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs6036478) and 117 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
