Clone REA408 recognizes the human prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) antigen, a single-pass type II membrane protein which is also known as folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (GCP2), or N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase I (NAALADase). PSMA is a zinc metallopeptidase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetylaspartylglutamate to glutamate and N-acetylaspartate. It is expressed with low levels in the small intestine, renal tubular cells, and salivary gland, and is over-expressed in prostate cancer tissue. PSMA is also expressed in the nervous system.
Additional information: Clone REA408 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
