APPLICATION OF CYSTATINS IN PREPARATION OF DRUG FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT-INDUCED SKIN DAMAGE

摘要

An application of cystatins in preparation of a drug for treating or preventing ultraviolet light-induced skin damage. The cystatins comprise a cystatin and a cysteine protease inhibitor which can inhibit the cysteine protease activity and can significantly reduce ultraviolet light-induced skin damage, such as cell death and tissue damage.
