Target Details for Prostate Specific Antigen

Target: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

Alternative Name: Prostate Specific Antigen

Background: Human Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA). PSA is a tumor-associated antigen with a molecular weight of 34 kDa. The antigen is found in normal prostatic epithelial lining cells of the ducts and acini, as well as in primary and metastatic prostate carcinoma cells. PSA reactivity may also be found in BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy), though the pattern of staining is different than that found in carcinoma tissues. The staining pattern ranges from cytoplasmic and secretory in normal and benign prostate to cytoplasmic with membrane in neoplastic prostate.
