Cystatin A also called Stefin A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CSTA gene.
Cystatin A is a cysteine proteinase inhibitor that belongs to family 1 of the cystatin superpamily.
This gene was assigned to human chromosome 3q21.1.
This is an intracellular thiol proteinase inhibitor.
Cystatin A plays an important role in desmosome-mediated cell-cell adhesion in the lower levels of the epidermis.
Stefins have been proposed as prognostic and diagnostic tools for cancer.
