PSMA

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II integral membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of prostate epithelial cells.¹ PSMA is upregulated in most prostate tumors,^2-4 and its expression levels increase with disease progression and in the transition to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).^1,3 PSMA is also expressed on the vasculature of non-prostate tumors, including lung cancer.^3,4 Therefore, PSMA is an attractive target for the treatment of prostate cancer and potentially other solid tumors.^2-4
