- Abstract
In this article, the author discusses a research related to molecular cloning and characterization of a Cysteine Protease inhibitor from Bufo melanostictus, Cystatin. Topics discussed include cystatins are categorised in three families including stefins, cystatins, and kininogens, Cystatins could efficiently inhibit endogenous and extraneous cysteine proteinases, and Cystatins have significant physiological functions in the immune system including steadying host-parasite interaction.
