PSMA Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1) gene, also known as Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII). Human PSMA is highly expressed in the prostate, roughly a hundred times greater than in most other tissues. In some prostate cancers, PSMA is the second-most upregulated gene product, with an 8- to 12-fold increase over levels in noncancerous prostate cells.

Description

Species	Human
Expression System	HEK293
Tag	N-hFc
Accession Number	Q04609-1
Synonyms	NAALAdase, FOLH1, FOLHNAALADase I, FGCP, mGCP, PSMAFGCP, NAALADase I, GCPIImGCP, Folate hydrolase 1, FOLH, NAALAD1, GCPII, PSM, GIG27, PSMA, GCP2
Construction	Recombinant Human PSMA/FOLH1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Lys44-Ala750.[Accession \|Q04609-1]
Protein Purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
Molecular Weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 106.8 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 110-120 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Stability & Storage	-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -20 to -80°C for 3-6 months in unopened state after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping	In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
