  7. 10. CYSTATIN C AND NEUROENDOCRINE DIFFERENTIATION IN THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AND IN PROSTATE CANCER

    Author : Thomas Jiborn; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urology; androgen deprivation therapy; cysteine protease inhibitor; neuroendocrine differentiation; cysteine protease; male reproductive tract; prostate cancer; nefrologi; Urologi; nephrology;

    Abstract : Cystatins are endogenous protease inhibitors that regulate the proteolytic activities of family C1 (papain-like) cysteine proteases, such as human cathepsins B, H, K, L, and S. Cystatin C shows the fastest inhibition and the highest affinity of all cystatins towards lysosomal cysteine proteases in general and is widespread in human tissues and body fluids. READ MORE
