Prostein is a 553-amino acid protein, also known as P501S. Prostein protein is a type IIIa plasma membrane protein which has been shown to be exclusively expressed in cells of normal and malignant prostate by Northern blot, cDNA microarray, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Prostein is localized to the Golgi complex in the cytoplasm of cells and is expressed by both benign and neoplastic prostate tissue, whereas it has not been detected in any other normal or malignant tissue examined.
This antibody is a useful aid for classification of prostate adenocarcinomas.

Specificity
Monoclonal mouse anti-prostein has been demonstrated to react with a 21 kDa recombinant prostein fragment and with a 50 kDa doublet present in Western blots of prostein-transfected HEK293 cell lysates. Anti-prostein also detected a 50 kDa doublet in blots of LNCaP and PC3 prostate tumor cell lysates, whereas the antibody was unreactive on Western blots of prostein negative Du145 cells and untransfected HEK293 cells (1). The epitope recognized by anti-prostein was mapped using a series of overlapping peptides spanning the amino acid sequence of the anti-prostein immunogen. Using ELISA, the epitope recognized by anti-prostein was localized to amino acids 439-459 of the prostein sequence (1). See package insert for reference(s).
The focus of the sixth edition of the IHC Guidebook is to provide a comprehensive immunohistochemistry (IHC) resource for lab managers, lab technicians, learning pathologists, and students from around the world.
