Source |
Human seminal and blood plasma |
|
Description |
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein enzyme, which is
encoded in humans by the KLK3 gene and is secreted by the epithelial cells of the
prostate gland. PSA exists in two major forms; free PSA and PSA-ACT (PSA bound to
Alpha-1 Antichymotrypsin). PSA forms a covalent complex with ACT in human blood
and forms a complex known as PSA-ACT Complex, which is used as a prostate tumor
marker |
