PSMA Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)
PSMA protein, with a preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides, acts as a folate hydrolase and NAALADase enzyme. It uptakes folate in the intestines, modulates excitatory neurotransmission by hydrolyzing NAAG to release glutamate in the brain, and exhibits dipeptidyl-peptidase IV type activity by cleaving Gly-Pro-AMC in vitro. PSMA, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived PSMA protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.

Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Description
PSMA protein, with a preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides, acts as a folate hydrolase and NAALADase enzyme. It uptakes folate in the intestines, modulates excitatory neurotransmission by hydrolyzing NAAG to release glutamate in the brain, and exhibits dipeptidyl-peptidase IV type activity by cleaving Gly-Pro-AMC in vitro. PSMA, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived PSMA protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.
Background
PSMA, a multifaceted enzyme, showcases both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked-acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activities, displaying a notable preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides. It plays a crucial role in the intestinal uptake of folate, contributing to essential metabolic processes. Within the brain, PSMA acts as a modulator of excitatory neurotransmission by hydrolyzing the neuropeptide N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), leading to the release of glutamate. Notably, PSMA's involvement in prostate tumor progression highlights its potential significance in cancer biology. Additionally, the enzyme exhibits dipeptidyl-peptidase IV type activity and effectively cleaves Gly-Pro-AMC in vitro, further emphasizing its diverse enzymatic functions.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
