Description All of which refer to the same protein, GCPII is a class II membrane glycoprotein, In cancer, In human prostate cancer, It catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) to glutamate and N-acetylaspartate (NAA), Most of the enzyme resides in the extracellular space, Neuroscientists primarily use the term NAALADase in their studies, PSMA, PSMA is strongly expressed in the human prostate, [Wiki], and those studying prostate cancer or oncology, being a hundredfold greater than the expression in most other tissues, glutamate carboxypeptidase II, it is upregulated in expression and has been called the second-most-upregulated gene in prostate cancer, the higher expressing tumors are associated with quicker time to progression and a greater percentage of patients suffering relapse, while those studying folate metabolism use folate hydrolase, with increase of 8- to 12-fold over the noncancerous prostate, GCPII is a zinc metalloenzyme that resides in membranes
ImmunogenA portion of amino acids 161-190 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this PSMA antibody
Storage Celcius or lower, Cycles of freezing and thawing can denaturate the peptide chains of the antibodies and reduce their sensitivity and/or change their affinity, Prepare aliqotes in such a manner so that freeze-thaw cycles are minimized, Aliquot the PSMA antibody and store frozen at -20 deg
PropertiesC, C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°, If you buy Antibodies supplied by NJS poly they should be stored frozen at - 24°
