Exploring Prostate Proteins and Antibodies Which proteins are expressed in the prostate? To acknowledge Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we take a closer look at the human prostate specific proteome. We explore the Human Protein Atlas's analysis of the prostate specific transcriptome, and present selected antibodies against proteins specifically expressed in prostate. All antibodies are presented on the Human Protein Atlas and available in our catalog as Triple A Polyclonals. To learn more read the full summary on the Human prostate proteome knowledge page on the Human Protein Atlas portal. 67% of all Human Proteins are Expressed in Prostate Two thirds of human proteins are expressed in the prostate. The number is based on the Human Protein Atlas analysis of RNA-Seq data for approximately 20,000 human proteins. Only 21 Prostate Specific Proteins Of all the genes expressed in prostate, 186 genes show various degrees of elevated expression in prostate compared to other tissues. Only 21 genes were found to be prostate specific (enriched), expressed at least five times more in prostate as compared to other tissues. The Human Protein Atlas study revealed that most of the transcriptional activity in prostate relates to housekeeping functions. The KLK3 gene encoding the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) protein is tissue enriched in prostate, with at least 5 times higher RNA expression in prostate compared to other tissues. This is illustrated here with IHC staining in seven different tissues using the Anti-KLK3 antibody (HPA000764). No staining is seen in breast (A), cerebellum (B), colon (C), liver (D), lymph node (E) or testis (F) tissues, whereas the Anti-KLK3 antibody shows strong positivity in prostate (G). Prostate enriched Proteins are Expressed by the Secretory Cells in the Glandular Structures Several of the prostate enriched genes belong to a group of serine proteases, called the kalikrein protein family. One example of these serine proteases is Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a well known biomarker for prostate cancer since it is elevated in blood from prostate cancer patients. Most group enriched genes in prostate share expression with testis, cerebral cortex or with colon. IHC staining of human prostate (A), colon (B), liver (C) and testis (D) tisues with AntiHOXB13 antibody (HPA062852) showing grouped expression in prostate and colon. Prostate Cancer in The Cancer Atlas In the Cancer Atlas on the Human Protein Atlas portal, all antibodies have been stained in 12 different prostate cancer samples, as well as in samples from 19 other cancers. The AMACR protein is used as a biomarker for prostate cancer since AMACR is overexpressed in prostate cancer compared to normal prostate. On the AMACR entry on the Cancer Atlas, stainings of prostate cancer samples using the Anti-AMACR antibody can be viewed. The Anti-AMACR antibody (HPA019527) shows strong positivity in prostate cancer samples (left) compared to normal prostate (right). IHC Staining Patterns Seen in Prostate and Prostate Cancer Samples Membranous staining of tumor cells in prostate cancer using Anti-CHD1 Antibody (AMAb90863). Staining of nuclear membrane in glandular cells in normal prostate tissue using Anti-SUN2 Antibody (HPA001209). Staining of mesenchymal cells in normal prostate using Anti-VIM antibody (AMAb90516). Cytoplasmic granular positivity in glandular cells in normal prostate using Anti-SLC45A3 antibody (HPA019075). Cytoplasmic staining of glandular cells in normal prostate using Anti-ACPP antibody (HPA063916). Staining of smooth muscle cells in prostate using Anti-ACTB Antibody (HPA041271).
