Prostate Cancer Antigen 3

Preferred Label : Prostate Cancer Antigen 3;

NCIt synonyms : Non-Protein Coding RNA 19; PRUNE2-AS1; PRUNE2 Antisense RNA 1; Prostate Cancer Associated 3; PCA3;

NCIt definition : Prostate cancer antigen 3 ( 4 kb) is encoded by the human PCA3 gene. This non-coding RNA may be involved in prostate carcinoma.;

NCIt note : Prostate cancer antigen 3 may be a more specific biomarker for prostate cancer than PSA because PSA3 expression does not appear to be elevated in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia. (Cancer Res. (1999) 59:5975-9.);
