Summary: Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within inhibition of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; negative regulation of microglial cell activation; and positive regulation of myelination. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; late endosome; and lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus and female reproductive system. Orthologous to human CST7 (cystatin F). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

During the active remyelinating phase, both CysF knockdown (CysFKD) and microglial-selective CatC overexpression (CatCOE) showed a worsening of the demyelination in Plp(4e/-) transgenic mice. Conversely, during the chronic demyelinating phase, CatC knockdown (CatCKD) ameliorated the demyelination. Our results suggest that the balance between CatC and CysF expression controls the demyelination and remyelination process.

The cystatin F expression in the activated microglia is closely associated with the effect of the A2A receptors, which may be related to the neuroinflammatory responses occurring during the pathological process.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
