Background/Introduction: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), also known as gamma-seminoprotein or kallikrein-3 (KLK3), is a single-chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass of about 33 kD that may function normally in the liquefaction of seminal coagulum. The PSA gene spans about 6 kb and contains 5 exons. It is a member of the kallikrein-related peptidase family and is secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. PSA is produced for the ejaculate, where it liquefies semen in the seminal coagulum and allows sperm to swim freely. It is also believed to be instrumental in dissolving cervical mucus, allowing the entry of sperm into the uterus.

Product Notes
The Human Kallikrein 3 / PSA (Catalog #AAA355412) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355412 ELISA Kit recognizes Human Kallikrein 3 / PSA. AAA Biotech's Kallikrein 3 / PSA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of Kallikrein 3 in human serum, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Kallikrein 3 / PSA for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Kallikrein 3 / PSA, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
