Abstract excerpt
Recombinant human cystatin C and two of its mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant inhibitor was found to be identical to authentic cystatin C as judged by isoelectric focusing (pI 9.2) and kinetics of inhibition of papain and human cathepsins B, H and L. N-terminal truncation of 8 residues resulted in a decrease of isoelectric point (pI 7.8), but the inhibitory properties were similar to...
