Background
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a 32 kDa serine kinase produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate. Its function is to liquify the ejaculate and is believed to be involved with dissolving the cervical mucous cap allowing the sperm to enter. Elevated serum levels can be an indication of prostate cancer and are often used as a screening test.Synonyms: Gamma-seminoprotein, P-30 antigen, Prostate-specific antigen, Semenogelase
