Description
MyBioSource is the leading producer and supplier of human gastric Pepsinogen I (A) antigen as a cancer marker for medical research, clinical and biomedical manufacturing.
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Human Pepsinogens are aspartic proteases produced in the gastric mucosa and secreted into the gastric lumen that play a major role in the digestion of proteins after activation of acidic pH. It is synthesized as isoymogens and are classified into two groups, Pepsinogen I and Pepsinogen II).
Human PGA and PGC antigen have been investigated as a possible biomarker for early detection of, Gastric cancer (GC), adenoma (GA) and severe atrophic (diffuse or patchy) corpus gastritis.
It has been reported that human Pepsinogen I (PGA) levels were lower in atrophic corpus gastritis than in atrophic antral gastritis, and human pepsinogen I(PGA) levels were lower in advanced gastric cancer than early stage gastric cancer
