The regional distribution and cellular localization of cystatin C in neurons of human postmortem hypothalamic was studied by use of peroxidase-anti-peroxidase technique. Cystatin C (earlier named gamma-trace) was found to be present in multiple nerve cells belonging to nuclei supraopticus, paraventricularis and arcuatus. We speculate that the occurrence of cystatin C in human cerebrospinal fluid is the result of a release of the protein from these neurons into the ventricular system.
