General description

84 kDa calculated

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also known as Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), Folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), and N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase I (NAALADase I), is a member of the peptidase M28 family and is involved in prostate tumor progression. It is highly expressed in prostate epithelium and detected in urinary bladder, kidney, testis, ovary, fallopian tube, breast, adrenal gland, liver, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and brain (at protein level). Mutations in PSMA have been associated with prostate cancer and hyperhomocysteinemia. PSMA may be a possible marker for neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer′s disease, and Huntington disease.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to human PSMA.
