STEAP1

Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 1 (STEAP1) is a membrane protein primarily expressed in the prostate tissue, where it is localized in the plasma membrane of epithelial cells located at cell-to-cell junctions.1 STEAP1 expression is low or absent in normal tissues, and its expression is increased in several types of human cancers.1,2

STEAP1 is overexpressed in > 80% of prostate cancers, including bone and lymph node metastases, representing an attractive target for treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).1-3
