	Description	Clone REA408 recognizes the human prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) antigen, a single-pass type II membrane protein which is also known as folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (GCP2), or N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase I (NAALADase). PSMA is a zinc metallopeptidase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetylaspartylglutamate to glutamate and N-acetylaspartate. It is expressed with low levels in the small intestine, renal tubular cells, and salivary gland, and is over-expressed in prostate cancer tissue. PSMA is also expressed in the nervous system. \| Additional information: Clone REA408 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

	PSMA	This gene encodes a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the M28 peptidase family. The protein acts as a glutamate carboxypeptidase on different alternative substrates, including the nutrient folate and the neuropeptide N-acetyl-l-aspartyl-l-glutamate and is expressed in a number of tissues such as prostate, central and peripheral nervous system and kidney. A mutation in this gene may be associated with impaired intestinal absorption of dietary folates, resulting in low blood folate levels and consequent hyperhomocysteinemia. Expression of this protein in the brain may be involved in a number of pathological conditions associated with glutamate excitotoxicity. In the prostate the protein is up-regulated in cancerous cells and is used as an effective diagnostic and prognostic indicator of prostate cancer. This gene likely arose from a duplication event of a nearby chromosomal region. Alternative splicing gives rise to multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms.

	APC	Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
