Prostatic acid phosphatase Antibody / PAP / PSAP / ACP3 (azide and preservative free)
Purification
Protein A/G affinity
Immunogen
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 1-100) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Prostatic acid phosphatase antibody.
Optimal dilution of the Prostatic acid phosphatase antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Background
Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PSAP or PAP) is a member of the histidine acid phosphatase family. It is a non-specific phosphatase that is capable of dephosphorylating tyrosine residues as well as phospholipids under mildly acidic conditions. Prostatic specific acid phosphatase (PSAP) is involved in prostate epithelial differentiation. It is highly expressed in prostate, primary and metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. This marker may be helpful in pinpointing the site of origin in cases of metastatic carcinoma of the prostate, and is considered a more sensitive marker than PSA.
