Aggregation of Cystatin C Changes Its Inhibitory Functions on Protease Activities and Amyloid β Fibril Formation
Cystatin C (CST3) is an endogenous cysteine protease inhibitor, which is implicated in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). In CAA, CST3 is found to be aggregated. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether this aggregation could alter the activity of the protein relevant to the molecular pat...
