Cysteine proteinase inhibitor that possibly plays a protective role against proteinases present in the oral cavity. The order of preference for inhibition is cathepsin S > cathepsin H > cathepsin L > cathepsin B.
Gene References into Functions
Results imply CST5 as an important mediator of tumor suppression by p53 in colorectal cancer. PMID: 26158294
These results support an unanticipated role of cystatin D in the cell nucleus, controlling the transcription of specific genes involved in crucial cellular functions, which may mediate its protective action in colon cancer. PMID: 26364852
Compared with its homologues, cystatin D presents an unusual inhibition profile with a preferential inhibition cathepsin S > cathepsin H > cathepsin L and no inhibition of cathepsin B or pig legumain. PMID: 15728581
Cystatin D is a candidate tumor suppressor gene induced by vitamin D in human colon cancer cells. PMID: 19662683
