PSMA Antibody (DA104)
PSMA Antibody (DA104)
Recombinant monoclonal rabbit antibody
Description
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with enzymatic activity.1,2 PSMA is expressed in normal prostate epithelial cells as well as prostate neoplastic cells. It has been demonstrated that PSMA expression is increased in prostate cancer and is correlated with disease progression.2 Although highly sensitive and specific for prostate, PSMA also labels a subset of non-prostate tissues, including the small intestine and kidney.2,3 PSMA is useful for identifying metastatic prostate carcinoma4 and distinguishing prostate carcinoma from urothelial carcinoma.5
