Biological Significance
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a glycoprotein of the glandular kallikrein family, is a serine protease with hymotrypsin-like enzymatic activity, is monitored as increased levels can indicate prostatic neoplasia. PSA released into circulation is present as unbound, free PSA (fPSA) or bound to serum protease inhibitors, such as a1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and a2-macroglobulin (A2M). Research indicates that immunoassays for serum levels of PSA alone cannot be relied on to distinguish prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Serum levels of PSA-ACT complex are reportedly higher in patients with prostate cancer than in those with BPH. As such, measuring the ratio of PSA-ACT to fPSA in patient samples is proving valuable in the differential identification os prostate cancer.

Product Notes
The PSA/ACT (Catalog #AAA537296) is a Native Protein produced from Human and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PSA/ACT complex can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, User optimized. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PSA/ACT 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 "PSA/ACT complex, Native Protein" 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
