Type 2 Cystatins and Their Roles in the Regulation of Human Immune Response and Cancer Progression
Cystatins are a family of intracellular and extracellular protease inhibitors that inhibit cysteine cathepsins—a group of lysosomal cysteine proteases that participate in multiple biological processes, including protein degradation and post-translational cleavage. Cysteine cathepsins are associated...
