Summary: Enables peptidase inhibitor activity and protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Sertoli cell development; cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; and embryo implantation. Located in several cellular components, including multivesicular body; neuronal cell body; and nuclear membrane. Biomarker of intracranial aneurysm; iron deficiency anemia; and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CST3-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy and age related macular degeneration 11. Orthologous to human CST3 (cystatin C).

In contrast to the weak levels of cathepsin L in normal glomeruli, on days 4 and 8, strong immunostaining was detected in almost all podocytes when proteinuria and pathological changes of the podocytes developed. Cathepsin L was reduced after day 28, but remained in a focal and segmental manner. Cystatin C, an extracellular inhibitor, was detected in podocytes after day 4, coincident with cathepsin L.

We demonstrated that C1q binding was increased on apoptotic rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells that expressed PR3. These findings shed new light on the respective roles of C1q and PR3 in the elimination of apoptotic cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
