Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and protease binding activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Unverricht-Lundborg syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Unverricht-Lundborg syndrome and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 1A. Orthologous to human CSTB (cystatin B).

The data of this study show that CXCL13 expression is a hallmark of microglial activation in Cstb (-/-) mice and that the brain inflammation is linked to peripheral inflammatory changes, which might contribute to the disease pathology of progressive myoclonus epilepsy..

Deletion of the encoding Cstb gene in Npc1-deficient mice resulted in striking deleterious effects, particularly within the cerebellum where diffuse loss of Purkinje cells was observed in young mice. This may be a consequence of damage to lysosomal membranes by reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to the leakage of lysosomal contents that culminates in apoptosis.

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.
