Description
Recombinant Cystatin-8 (CST8) Fragment (aa 22-142) is a high-purity protein designed for life science research. This fragment represents a stable and soluble unit of Cystatin-8, optimized for structural and biochemical studies, and reflects the protein's specialized role in sperm development and maturation.
Cystatin-8, also known as Cystatin-related epididymal spermatogenic protein, is encoded by the CST8 gene in humans. It performs a specialized role during sperm development and maturation, contributing to key reproductive processes. As a secreted protein, it functions extracellularly, where it is involved in the regulation and support of spermatogenesis. This recombinant fragment (aa 22-142) encompasses the core functional domain, enabling detailed investigation into its mechanisms and interactions.
