Molecular Characterization

Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 10.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 17-25 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
The Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, plays an important role in tumorigenesis. The prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) gene, which encodes a prostate-specific antigen (PSA), was identified as a gene involved in cell adhesion and proliferation. PSCA may be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. Has a cell-proliferation inhibition activity in vitro. May act as a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity. In vitro inhibits nicotine-induced signaling probably implicating alpha-3:beta-2- or alpha-7-containing nAChRs.
