Roche Diagnostics Corporation Napsin A (Polyclonal); Napsin is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinase, in the A1 clan of the AA clade of proteinases. There are two closely related napsins, napsin A and napsin B. Napsin A is expressed as a single chain protein with the molecular weight of approximately 38 kDa. Immunohistochemical studies revealed high expression levels of napsin A in human lung and kidney but low expression in spleen. Napsin A is expressed in type II pneumocytes and in adenocarcinomas of lung. The high specificity expression of napsin A in adenocarcinomas of lung is useful to distinguish primary lung adenocarcinomas from adenocarcinomas of other organs. 50 Tests - ROCHGSK (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
