Cystatin C in Rat Endothelial Cells. Cystatin C was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of rat brain using Mouse Anti-Rat Cystatin C Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6154) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counter-stained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to endothelial cells in vasculature. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

Background: Cystatin C

Cystatin C is a member of family 2 in the Cystatin superfamily (1). It is involved in processes such as tumor invasion and metastasis, inflammation and some neurological diseases. It inhibits many cysteine proteases such as papain and cathepsins B, H, K, L and S (2, 3). It is ubiquitous in human tissues and body fluids. A point mutation in the gene coding for the 120 amino acid mature Cystatin C causes a hereditary form of amyloid angiopathy in which the protein variant is deposited in the cerebral arteries, leading to fatal cerebral hemorrhage (4). Cystatin C may have additional clinical applications. For example, it is a good marker for glomerular filtration rate (5).
