Properties

For facs or microscopy Alexa 1 conjugate.Alexa Fluor 488 has the same range to that of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), yet the Anti-AMACR has a very high photo stability. As a result of this photo stability, it has turned into an antibody for fluorescent microscopy and FACS FLOW cytometry. It is distinguished in the FL1 of a FACS-Calibur or FACScan. Also Alexa Fluor 488 is pH stable.If you buy Antibodies supplied by Bioss Primary Conjugated Antibodies. ALEXA FLUOR they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

Background of the antigen

alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase(AMACR/P504S) is Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer is now widespread in the United States among men of all ages. However PSA has limited specificity because benign disease, including prostatic enlargement and inflammation, can increase PSA levels. Thus, a more specific prostate cancer markers is needed. One such potential marker is AMACR, an enzyme that is involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation of dietary branched-chain fatty acids. Recent studies have shown that, compared with expression in normal or benign prostate epithelium, AMACR is consistently overexpressed in prostate cancer epithelium, making it a specific marker for cancer cells within the prostate gland. Furthermore, overexpression of AMACR may increase the risk of prostate cancer because its expression is increased in premalignant lesions (prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia).
