PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (psa)immunoreagent and tumor marker from Lee Biosolutions is available in bulk quantities. Custom fills and custom buffers can be provided for Prostate Specific Antigen PSA.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a glycoprotein of the glandular kallikrein family, is a serine protease with chymotrypsin-like enzymatic activity. Circulating PSA exists in free and protease inhibitor-bound forms. Studying the ratios of free to inhibitor-bound forms may prove valuable in the diagnosis of prostate cancer
Human tumor marker Prostate Specific Antigen(PSA) is present in small quantities in the serum of normal men, and is often elevated in the presence of prostate cancer and in other prostate disorders. A blood test to measure Human Tumor marker Prostate Specific Antigen(PSA) is the most effective test currently available for the early detection of prostate cancer.
Current studies demonstrate the importance of PSA - prostate specific antigen to prostate cancer cell growth. Studey shows that the enzymatic activity of prostate specific antigen PSA confers an enhanced growth rate to human prostate cancer cells, suggesting a causal role in prostate cancer progression.Referance Prostate 71:1595–1607, 2011. 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
