Prostate Specific Antigen Antibody RM323 recognizes prostate specific antigen (PSA), a secreted serine protease encoded by the KLK3 gene. KLK3 is a member of the kallikrein related peptidase family and is produced predominantly by luminal epithelial cells of the prostate. The protein is synthesized as a preproenzyme and undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the mature, enzymatically active form that is secreted into seminal fluid.
KLK3 functions primarily in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum through proteolytic cleavage of semenogelins and other seminal proteins. Mature PSA is a glycosylated protein with an apparent molecular weight commonly near 30-34 kDa, although migration can vary with glycosylation and protein processing. Its protease activity is regulated after secretion, and circulating PSA can occur in both free form and in complexes with protease inhibitors, particularly alpha 1-antichymotrypsin.
PSA is one of the most extensively studied proteins associated with prostate biology. Expression is strongly regulated by androgen receptor signaling and is closely associated with differentiated secretory prostate epithelium. KLK3 expression is retained in many prostate cancers, making PSA useful in research examining prostate epithelial differentiation, androgen signaling, tumor biology, and prostate-derived proteins. Changes in expression can also accompany alterations in cellular differentiation and disease progression.
Clone RM323 is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody generated against native PSA purified from human seminal fluid. The antibody provides researchers with a defined monoclonal reagent for investigating PSA/KLK3 protein. As a KLK3 Antibody, it can support studies of the mature protein as well as research examining the biochemical forms and molecular interactions of this extensively characterized prostate-associated serine protease. NSJ Bioreagents supplies RM323 for research use only.
A Prostate Specific Antigen Antibody can be used to investigate KLK3 expression, PSA protein biology, prostate epithelial differentiation, and molecular processes associated with normal and malignant prostate tissue.
