other info2 :
Immunogen Type: Purified protein. Immunogen: KLK3 / PSA antibody was raised against human prostate specific antigen.
products categories :
Family: Protease. Subfamily: Serine S1
products description :
Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Its protein product is a protease present in seminal plasma.

ncbi summary :
Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Its protein product is a protease present in seminal plasma. It is thought to function normally in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum, presumably by hydrolysis of the high molecular mass seminal vesicle protein. Serum level of this protein, called PSA in the clinical setting, is useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of prostatic carcinoma. Alternate splicing of this gene generates several transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
PSA: Hydrolyzes semenogelin-1 thus leading to the liquefaction of the seminal coagulum. Forms heterodimer with SERPINA5. Inhibited by SERPINA5. Activity is strongly inhibited by Zn2+, 100 times more abundant in semen than in serum. This inhibition is relieved by exposure to semenogelins, which are avid zinc binders. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Kallikrein subfamily. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted; EC 3.4.21.77; Protease. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.41. Cellular Component: extracellular region; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein binding; serine-type peptidase activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity. Biological Process: negative regulation of angiogenesis; cellular protein metabolic process; proteolysis
