17. The present study was performed on two more missense mutants of human stefin B, G50E and Q71P, and they similarly showed numerous aggregates upon overexpression. PMID: 24909779
18. The co-localization of stefin B wild type and EPM1 mutants with cathepsins showed that cathepsins accumulate around the aggregates formed by the EPM1 mutants. PMID: 23362198
19. Skull thickening and an increased prevalence of abnormal findings in skeletal radiographs of patients with EPM1 suggest that this condition is connected to defective cystatin B function. PMID: 23010349
20. This study suggested that CSTB mutations other than the common dodecamer expansion predict particular phenotypes, including marked seizure severity and polymorphous seizure types. PMID: 23205931
21. Elevated StefA mRNA level is associated with invasive glioblastoma. PMID: 22287159
22. S-glutathionylation and S-cysteinylation were described as extensive PTM of a salivary protein and the first time that these PTMs were detected in naturally occurring cystatin B. PMID: 22057043
23. patients compound heterozygous for the dodecamer repeat expansion and the c.202C>T mutations seem to have a severer form of Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1) than patients homozygous for the expansion mutation PMID: 21757863
24. At pH 7.0 the mutant H75W folded in three kinetic phases to a native-like intermediate, analogous to folding of stefin B at pH 4.8. PMID: 22033403

31. first demonstration of cysteine protease activity being regulated by CSTB activity in a biological context; effects of decreased CSTB activity in EPM1 pathogenesis may be mediated by cathepsins through increased activity of cathepsins S and L PMID: 12452481
32. Prefibrillar oligomers/aggregates of stefin B also increase the surface pressure at an air-water interface, i.e. they have amphipathic character and are surface seeking. PMID: 15955063
