function:Shows moderate inhibition of cathepsin B but is not active against cathepsin C.,PTM:Substrate for transglutaminases. Acts as an acyl acceptor but not as an acyl donor.,similarity:Belongs to the cystatin family.,tissue specificity:Restricted to the stratum granulosum of normal skin, the stratum granulosum/spinosum of psoriatic skin, and the secretory coils of eccrine sweat glands. Low expression levels are found in the nasal cavity.,
