Folate Hydrolase 1 Antibody / FOLH1 / PSMA

Folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), also known as Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), has both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked-acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activity. Has a preference for tri-alpha-glutamate peptides. In the intestine, required for the uptake of folate. In the brain, modulates excitatory neurotransmission through the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide, N-aceylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), thereby releasing glutamate. Involved in prostate tumor progression.
