Cst5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bone mineralization; calcium ion homeostasis; and endochondral bone morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell maturation and chondrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; extracellular space; and vesicle. Orthologous to human CST5 (cystatin D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cst5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
