| 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 |
| Immunogen | A 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 |
| Properties | C, 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° |
