About
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein and acts as a glutamate carboxypeptidase enzyme. It is first described in prostate cancer cell lines and later identified in various tissues, include salivary gland. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-P16-093 in primary sjogren's syndrome patients.
Full description
Primary sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease mainly presented hyperglobulinemia and exocrine gland involvement,and lack of diagnostic gold standard.Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), as known as folate hydrolase I or glutamate carboxypeptidase II, is overexpressed on the cells of prostatic adenocarcinoma. However, PSMA is also expressed by various solid organs , such as salivary gland,which is often observed damage in primary Sjogren's syndrome patients.Therefore, PSMA may be an ideal target for evaluating salivary gland injury.
