Alternative Names:
Cell growth-inhibiting gene 27 protein (GIG27), Folylpoly-gamma-glutamate carboxypeptidase (FGCP), Glutamate carboxylase II (GCPII), N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase I (NAALAD1 or NAALADase), Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSM or PSMA), Pteroylpoly-gamma-glutamate carboxypeptidase
Folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), also known as Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the M28 peptidase family. FOLH1 has two enzymatic activities, one as a prostate-specific integral membrane folate hydrolase and the other as a carboxypeptidase In the prostate the protein is up-regulated in cancerous cells and is used as an effective diagnostic and prognostic indicator of prostate cancer.
