Capromab pendetide

Specification

• Cat#: THA-0020
• Product Name: Capromab pendetide
• Description: Capromab pendetide is a monoclonal anti-prostate specific membrane antigen antibody used in imaging kits to target radioactive agents to malignant prostate tissue.
• Sequences: Not Available
• Molecular Weight: Not Available
• Introduction: Capromab is a Murine IgG1 monoclonal 7E11-C5.3 antibody that recognizes prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA – also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase 2) from prostate cancer cells and normal prostate tissue. When linked to pendetide, capromab is used as a chelating agent for the radionuclide Indium In-111 during imaging to evaluate the extent of prostate cancer.
• Purity: >99% by SDS-Page and HPLC analysis

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Binds to the prostate-specific membrane antigen, which is a cell surface protein generally overexpressed in prostate tissues and prostate cancers. The radioactive Indium 111, which is covalently attached to the antibody, allows radiodiagnostic detection of PSMA expressing cells and tumors.
• Targets: Glutamate carboxypeptidase 2
