Background: PSMA/FOLH1/NAALADase I

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a tumor marker in prostate cancer encoded by the FOLH1 gene, is a type II transmembrane zinc metallopeptidase that is most highly expressed in the nervous system, prostate, kidney, and small intestine (1,2). PMSA has a short cytosolic N-terminal domain, a single membrane-spanning segment, and an extracellular region that is composed of a protease domain, apical domain, and C-terminal domain (3). The extracellular domains all contribute to substrate recognition. The protein forms an active homodimer reliant on interactions between amino-acid side chains and glycosylation (3,4). PSMA is also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), folate hydrolase 1, and N-acetylated-alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase-1 (NAALADase1). PSMA activity plays a role in tumor angiogenesis making it not only a tumor marker, but a therapeutic target in cancers including prostate cancer (5). In the brain, PSMA hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter N-acetyl-Asp-Glu (NAAG) to produce glutamate, another neurotransmitter. Inhibition of brain PSMA activity is considered to be a promising approach for the treatment of neurological disorders associated with glutamate excitotoxicity such as stroke, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (6,7,8). Intestinal PSMA hydrolyzes folylpoly-gamma -glutamates, facilitating the uptake of folate (8). Upregulation of PSMA is present in inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis where pharmacological inhibition has shown amelioration of clinical symptoms pertaining to these diseases in mice (5).
