摘要
Stefins是半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂超家族(Cystatins)的一个分支,属于Ⅰ型Cystatins,在人类中主要包括Stefin A和Stefin B。Stefins具有多种生物学功能:Stefin B的基因突变与翁-隆病(Unverricht-Lundborg disease,EPM1)的发生紧密相关;Stefins参与淀粉斑的形成,在阿尔茨海默病的发生、发展中发挥重要作用;近年来关于Stefins在肿瘤的发生、发展、侵袭、转移中的作用备受关注。本文就Stefins的功能研究进展作一综述。
Stefins family is a branch of cystatin superfamily, which apparently acts as inhibitors of cysteine proteases, belonging to type I cystatins. Stefin A and stefin B are the main two kinds of stefins in human beings. Stefins has many biological functions: the gene mutation of stefin B is closely related to the development of Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1); Stefin A and stefin B participate in the formation of the amyloid plaque, which play an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease; Stefins may also involve in the genesis, development, invasion and metastasis of tumor. This review elucidates the advances in biological function of stefins.
