Background:

Kallikrein 3 (KLK3), also known as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), is a member of the glandular kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases. It is produced by prostate epithelial cells and is secreted into prostatic ducts. Upon cleavage of 7 amino-terminal amino acids, it is activated to liquefy semen in the seminal coagulum. Although PSA/KLK3 is produced in healthy individuals, investigators have found abnormally high levels in the blood of men with advanced prostate cancer.

Specificity:

Recognizes endogenous levels of Kallikrein 3 protein.

Alternative names:

APS; Prostate-specific antigen; PSA; Gamma-seminoprotein; Seminin; Kallikrein-3; P-30 antigen; Semenogelase
