Friends and relations of the cystatin superfamily—new members and their evolution

1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

The cystatin "superfamily" encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. In recent years, several new members of the superfamily have characterized, including proteins from insects and plants. Based on partial amino acid homology, new members, such as the...
