• Species Reactivity

  Human

• Specificity

  Detects human NAALADase-2/NAALAD2 in direct ELISAs. In direct ELISAs, approximately 50% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse NAALADase-2 is observed and no cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) PSMA/FOLH1/NAALADase-1, rhNAALADase-like 2, or rhNAALADase-like 1 is observed.

Background: NAALADase-2/NAALAD2

N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase 2 (NAALADase-2), also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase 3 (GCP3), is a 90-100 kDa type 2 transmembrane protein in the M28 peptidase family. It hydrolyzes beta-citrylglutamate (BCG) and N-acetyl-aspartylglutamate (NAAG) which are abundant dipeptides found in brain and testis. Mature human NAALADase-2 consists of a 7 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 24 aa transmembrane segment, and a 709 aa extracellular region (aa 32-740) that contains the peptidase domain. Over aa 32-740, human NAALADase-2 shares 89% aa sequence identity with mouse NAALADase-2.
